Why we read it this way (10)
The posting's title 'Engineer II' maps to a mid-level (II) designation, consistent with the 2+ years experience minimum.
An active Secret clearance is a hard gate; the ability to obtain TS/SCI is additionally required but the active Secret is the stated minimum to start.
The location is not explicitly stated in the posting text, but BAE Systems Space & Mission Systems (SMS) is headquartered in Colorado Springs, CO — the CBSA reflects that inference. Verify the exact work site before posting.
Cloud development is listed under required skills but with no specific platform named; it is captured as a general requirement.
Containerization appears in the technology areas narrative rather than the formal requirements block, so it is marked preferred.
Python and Ruby are presented as interchangeable scripting language options ('such as Python or Ruby'); Python is listed as primary with Ruby as an alternative.
Confluence and Jira are both named explicitly under required Atlassian Tools and are treated as separate hard gates.
Jama and DOORS are listed under preferred requirements management tools and are treated as interchangeable alternatives.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): cloud development.
Requires a Secret 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.
