Why we read it this way (7)
The 13+ years requirement is a combined systems/IT experience gate; a Bachelor's degree substitutes for 4 years and a Master's for 6 years, so no standalone degree is hard-required.
Clearance gate: candidates must be able to obtain and/or maintain a TS/SCI, which requires US citizenship. A TS/SCI with in-scope polygraph is listed under Desired Qualifications as a nice-to-have.
Telework is currently approved; preferred on-site locations are Annapolis Junction MD, Washington DC, and Reston VA — mapped to the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria CBSA.
No compensation figures are provided; the posting notes salary will depend on contract funding, candidate experience, education, and geography.
PrimeFaces is explicitly listed under Desired Qualifications as a plus.
Requires a TS/SCI clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
