Why we read it this way (7)

The posting lists all skills in a single undifferentiated 'Skills' block with no required vs. preferred distinction, so all named technologies have been treated as hard gates.

The degree requirement states a Bachelor's in Computer Science or related discipline, but explicitly allows five years of additional work experience in lieu of a degree — the degree requirement is therefore set to None (equivalent experience accepted).

The TS/SCI FSP (Full Scope Polygraph) clearance is explicitly called out in the position header and is treated as a hard gate.

The posting covers multiple locations across Virginia and Maryland; the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria DC-VA-MD-WV CBSA is used as the best single metro representation.

No compensation range is provided.

The title 'Software Engineers' carries no seniority level; the skills profile (Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, NiFi, Angular) and the degree-or-5-years-experience gate suggest a mid-level pool.

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.
