Why we read it this way (9)
The role requires a TS/SCI clearance WITH a current polygraph — this is a hard gate explicitly stated in Required Qualifications.
Degree requirement is marked None because the JD offers multiple equivalent paths: Bachelor's + 5 yrs, Master's + 3 yrs, Associate's + 8 yrs, or HS diploma/GED + 11 yrs — no single degree level is universally required.
The overall years minimum is set to 5 (the minimum years required under the Bachelor's path, which is the lowest-degree path with the fewest years). Candidates with less formal education must compensate with more years of experience.
The database requirement lists PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, and MongoDB as examples ('e.g.'); one or more of these is required, so PostgreSQL is listed as the primary with the others as alternatives.
FastAPI and Flask appear together under Desired Qualifications as Python web framework examples; Flask is captured as an alternative to FastAPI.
Cloud environment experience appears in Desired Qualifications with no specific platform named; no skill entry was created as no concrete technology was identified.
Agile is listed under Desired Qualifications despite also being mentioned in the required responsibilities narrative; section placement in Desired Qualifications governs.
The posted salary range of $120,700–$188,725/yr reflects a wide band likely driven by clearance level, education, and years of experience combinations.
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.
