Why we read it this way (8)
The role is titled 'Lead Software Engineer' — 'Lead' here signals a senior hands-on IC with team coordination duties, not a formal people-manager role; the JD describes mentoring and coordinating rather than hiring/budget ownership, so 15-1252 is the right SOC.
The posting is fully remote but explicitly states it cannot be performed in New York City. No specific metro is listed as a primary location.
Clearance is stated as 'Must be eligible to obtain a U.S. Government Security Clearance' — this gates eligibility but does not specify the level. Secret is assumed as the minimum typical for eligibility-based gates; candidates should verify the actual level required.
The DevOps tooling list (GitHub, Jenkins, Selenium, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Puppet, Chef) is presented in a single 'Skilled in using' requirements sentence, so all are treated as hard gates despite the breadth of the list.
GraphQL is listed as an alternative to REST APIs in the requirements section ('e.g., Swagger, REST APIs, or GraphQL'), so it is captured both as an alternative to REST and as a standalone preferred skill given the 'or' framing.
Third-party logins via OAuth/OIDC/SAML are called 'a big plus' in the same sentence as the authentication requirement; OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, and SAML are nonetheless listed under Requirements and are treated as hard gates, consistent with their section placement.
No degree requirement is stated anywhere in the posting.
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.
