Why we read it this way (8)
The role is titled 'Software Developer' with no level modifier, so advertised seniority is Unspecified; the 5-year overall / 3-year cloud experience requirement and end-to-end ownership of cloud solutions support a Senior classification.
The cloud providers (Azure, AWS, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, GCP) and DevOps tools (GitHub, GitLab, SSMS, Visual Studio) are listed under required experience but with the qualifier 'at least some of the following' — meaning the candidate need not know all of them, but cloud and DevOps tool experience is a hard gate. Azure is used as the primary skill name with the others captured as alternatives to reflect this 'some of' framing.
The role has a meaningful ServiceNow-flavored administrative component (custom scripts/Business Rules, user/role management, UI/workflow customization) but the JD frames this under a general software developer title without naming ServiceNow explicitly; no ServiceNow skill was emitted as no specific platform was named.
An active Secret clearance is explicitly required as a hard gate, not merely the ability to obtain one.
CompTIA Security+ CE is listed as a required certification and is captured as a must-have skill.
The alt SOC 15-1244 is noted because a portion of the role involves platform administration, health checks, and user/role management — operational tasks more typical of systems administration — though the overall framing and primary duties are software/cloud development.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): cloud application 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.
