Why we read it this way (8)

The role is titled 'NMS ServiceNow Software Designer' with an internal level of 'IT Software Developer 2'; no explicit seniority word (Senior/Mid/etc.) appears in the title, so advertised seniority is Unspecified.

Total experience is expressed as a sliding education/experience scale (e.g., Bachelor's + 6 years, HS diploma + 10 years). The minimum combination implying a degree is Bachelor's + 6 years; the overall years minimum is set to 6 as the lowest stated professional-experience floor for a degree-holding candidate. No single degree is hard-required — equivalent experience is explicitly accepted — so the degree requirement is None.

DoD 8140 IAT Level 2 compliance is listed as a hard requirement; this typically implies holding a qualifying certification (e.g., CompTIA Security+) but no specific cert is named, so it is not emitted as a named skill.

ServiceNow Certified System Administrator is listed under Desired Qualifications and is therefore preferred.

Ansible, Python, Terraform, and PowerShell appear in the duties narrative as 'support the automation… by contributing to the development of scripts' — framed as contributory/supporting tasks rather than gated requirements, and they do not appear in the Required Qualifications block; marked preferred.

IntegrationHub, MID Server, Cisco NSO, JavaScript, Java, Perl, Linux, DISA STIG, and RMF appear either in the duties narrative or the Desired Qualifications section; all marked preferred.

The alt SOC (15-1244) is noted because the role also involves deploying, administering, and operating the ServiceNow platform on government infrastructure, which has a systems-administration character; however, the dominant emphasis on developing integrations, scripting, and building features points to 15-1252.

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.
