Why we read it this way (8)
The posting lists no explicit overall years-of-experience requirement; seniority is assessed as Mid based on the scope described ('Experienced Professional' career area label, but no ownership of components or teams, and no minimum years stated).
The salary range quoted ($76,500–$134,895/year) applies specifically to California, Massachusetts, New York (excluding most major metro areas), Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, Vermont, Washington, and Washington DC; the posting notes the range will differ for other states.
The Basic Qualifications gate on the ability to obtain and maintain a Top Secret clearance; the Desired Skills section additionally lists an active TS/SCI as preferred. The hard gate is therefore TS/SCI (must be obtainable), with an active TS/SCI being a bonus.
Work location is onsite at a Lockheed Martin facility; the specific facility/city is not named in the posting, making a precise CBSA assignment impossible.
JIRA and Confluence appear in the Basic Qualifications as examples of Agile tooling ('using tools such as JIRA and Confluence'); they are treated as required per their placement in the requirements section, though the 'such as' qualifier implies other equivalent tools could substitute.
The four cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, OpenStack, OpenShift) are listed together as alternatives for the containerization/cloud environment requirement; AWS is used as the primary name with the others in alternatives.
Helm and Containerd are listed alongside Kubernetes and Docker in the containerization requirement under Basic Qualifications and are treated as required.
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.
