Why we read it this way (7)
Location is not specified in the posting beyond 'US'; no CBSA or state could be determined. The role is at Oracle Government Defense & Intelligence, which typically implies work in or near a cleared facility, but no city is named.
The TS/SCI with Polygraph clearance is an explicit hard gate at hire — candidates must hold an active clearance on day one.
The experience requirement is tiered by degree: 9 years (no degree), 5 years (Bachelor's), 3 years (Master's), or 1 year (Doctorate). The overall years minimum is set to 9 (the no-degree floor); the degree requirement is None because a degree is not required — experience can substitute.
The JD requires 6 years of experience with 'programming and/or scripting languages' but names no specific language; similarly, 4 years of database experience names no specific database technology. These are captured as generic skill entries since no concrete tool is named.
The preferred cloud platform requirement names Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, AWS, Azure, and GCP as interchangeable options — captured as a single preferred skill with alternatives.
The role has explicit direct-report management, hiring, coaching, and budget responsibilities, confirming 11-3021 as the primary SOC. The alt SOC 15-1252 reflects the substantial hands-on software engineering background required.
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.
