Why we read it this way (8)
This posting covers two experience tiers simultaneously: 'Experienced-level' (2+ years) and 'Career-level' (5+ years). The overall years minimum is set to the lower gate (2 years); seniority is assessed at Mid to reflect the minimum qualifying tier.
The degree (Bachelor of Science in a STEM field) is listed under Preferred Qualifications, so it is not treated as a hard requirement.
An active Secret clearance is listed as preferred; however, the ability to obtain a Secret clearance is a hard gate stated in Basic Qualifications, and the Security Clearance section confirms 'A final U.S. Secret Clearance Pre-Start is required.' Clearance is therefore marked as required.
Java, Python, C++, React, HTML, and CSS appear in the Position Responsibilities section as the core development stack ('Develop and maintain responsive applications using…'). They are treated as hard gates given the firm language of the responsibilities description.
Redux, JavaScript, TypeScript, REST APIs, WebSockets, and Agile/Atlassian tools all appear under Preferred Qualifications and are marked accordingly.
The web-development experience block (ReactJS, Redux, JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML, CSS — 2+ years) is listed under Preferred Qualifications; the years demanded values are only set where the preferred section explicitly states them.
Travel up to 25% of the time is noted in the posting. Relocation assistance is not offered. U.S. Person status is required for export control compliance.
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.
