Why we read it this way (9)
The posting mentions 'Rate + GSA travel and M&IE Reimbursement' at the top, indicating this is a contract/consulting engagement with travel reimbursement — classified as Contract accordingly.
The role is strongly associated with Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) based on references to 'Laboratory' policies, IST, and LANL-specific software (P6, COBRA, CRES, Integrify). The nearest CBSA is Santa Fe, NM (Los Alamos is within that metro area).
The SOC classification is a close call: the role blends hands-on full-stack software development (Node.js, C#, ASP.NET, REST APIs) with systems analysis duties (requirements gathering, documentation, end-user training, Agile/Scrum project management). Software Developers (15-1252) was chosen as primary because the explicit 'Job Knowledge' section and top-3 skills center on coding and DevOps; Computer Systems Analysts (15-1211) is the runner-up given the strong business-analysis and requirements-gathering emphasis.
SharePoint and CMS/Web Content Systems experience is listed as 'required' in the body of the posting, so it is marked as a hard gate. The specific CMS product named is SharePoint.
UI/UX or graphic design/web interface design is listed as 'required' in the posting but names no specific tool (e.g., Figma, Adobe XD), so no skill entry was emitted — it is a generic capability, not a named technology.
Agile/Scrum certification is explicitly noted as 'preferred' in the posting; P6, COBRA, CRES, and Integrify are listed under 'desired' familiarity with LANL project management software.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's Degree… or an equivalent combination of education and experience,' so no hard degree gate is set.
No compensation figures are provided beyond a reference to 'Rate + GSA travel reimbursement'; no numeric amounts were stated.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
