Why we read it this way (8)
The role is tagged '#Remote' at the bottom of the posting, indicating fully remote eligibility; no specific metro or state is listed.
The security clearance requirement is 'ability to obtain/maintain a Public Trust Security Clearance' — Public Trust is a suitability determination, not a formal US security clearance level (Confidential/Secret/TS), so the clearance requirement is set to None.
Cloud experience is required ('experience supporting cloud-based analytics or data management environments') but no specific cloud platform is named as a hard gate in the requirements section; specific platforms (Azure, Databricks, etc.) appear only under Preferred Qualifications.
SAS experience appears only under Preferred Qualifications (in the context of migration from SAS), so it is marked preferred.
A Master's degree is explicitly listed as preferred, not required; the hard minimum is a Bachelor's degree.
The $107,900–$195,050 pay range spans a wide band; Leidos notes it is a general guideline, not a guarantee.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): cloud data management, Azure Solutions Architect Expert.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
