Why we read it this way (8)
The clearance field is set to None: the JD requires only the ability to obtain a Public Trust suitability determination, which is not a US security clearance in the DoD sense.
The degree requirement is a hard gate: 'Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science or a related field plus 12 years experience' — no equivalent-experience substitution is offered.
Git is listed with ADO (Azure DevOps) or GitHub as the hosting platform; Git is the hard-required skill and the platform variants are context rather than separate gates.
The preferred section mentions 'AWS Certified - Synops Admin' — this appears to be a garbled or proprietary credential label; it has been captured under the AWS/Azure cloud skill as a preferred item rather than a separate gate.
Terraform is listed in the preferred section alongside ARM, Bicep, PowerShell, and Python as alternative cloud-provisioning automation tools; all are preferred, not required.
Unit testing, integration testing, and TDD appear in the required section as a methodology/practice rather than a named tool, so they are omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
The 12-year experience requirement is stated at the role level (tied to the degree), not to any specific technology, and is captured in the overall years minimum.
