Why we read it this way (7)
The Must-Have Qualifications section contains no named technologies except 'AI-assisted development tools,' which is listed as a hard requirement. All other technical skills (Git, APIs, databases, cloud platforms, web technologies, programming languages) appear only under Preferred Qualifications.
No specific programming language is required; experience with 'one or more modern programming languages' is listed as preferred only.
No degree is required — the posting explicitly accepts education, self-study, coding bootcamps, military technology programs, or personal/professional experience as equivalent foundations.
No minimum years of experience are stated at the role level.
SOC confidence is Medium: the role is clearly entry-level software development, but the heavy emphasis on AI-assisted tooling and the 'AI-Native Development Program' framing make the day-to-day work somewhat ambiguous. 15-1252 (Software Developers) is the best fit given the core responsibilities (building, debugging, integrating applications); 15-1299 is noted as a runner-up given the novel program framing.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): AI-assisted development tools.
