Why we read it this way (9)
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role centers on Drupal CMS development (pages, theming, custom modules, USWDS compliance — signals for 15-1254 Web Developers), but also requires substantial API engineering, backend services, and DevOps work that would normally point to 15-1252 Software Developers. 15-1254 was chosen because the primary platform is Drupal and the federal web/CMS context dominates the responsibilities; 15-1252 is a strong runner-up.
Node.js is listed as the primary named modern API framework; FastAPI (Python) and Bun are listed as explicit alternatives in the same requirement and are captured in 'alternatives'.
.NET, Python, Ruby, and SQL Server appear in the Required Qualifications section but are framed as 'working knowledge of additional languages and frameworks' — a secondary, supplementary requirement rather than a hard gate, so they are marked preferred.
Login.gov integration is explicitly called out as a required responsibility and is listed under Required Qualifications as an example of federal system integration experience; it is marked required. The SAVE system is a parallel example but is not a named technology product warranting its own skill entry.
U.S. Web Design System (USWDS) hands-on experience appears under Preferred Qualifications, though knowledge of Section 508 and USWDS standards is referenced in Required Qualifications. USWDS is marked preferred because hands-on application is explicitly called out only under Preferred; Section 508 knowledge is marked required.
Cloud platform experience (AWS, Azure, GCP) appears only under Preferred Qualifications and is marked preferred accordingly.
The posting notes candidates must be a U.S. citizen or Legal Permanent Resident (Green Card, 3 years) and be Federal Tax compliant — this is listed under Preferred Qualifications, but it is a common federal contractor eligibility requirement worth flagging for recruiters.
No formal degree requirement is stated anywhere in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): U.S. Web Design System.
