Why we read it this way (9)
A TS/SCI with polygraph is a hard gate — explicitly listed under Basic Qualifications and restated in the Clearance Level field.
The JD requires a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field, but explicitly allows substitution of 4 additional years of SWE experience in lieu of the degree — treated as no hard degree requirement.
Java appears in both the narrative ('Familiarity with programming languages such as Java') and the Desired Skills section ('Strong Java skills'). The narrative framing is soft, but the role's focus on software engineering and the explicit call-out in Desired Skills makes it a clear stack requirement; it is marked required because it is the only named language and the role is defined around it.
AWS is listed under Desired Skills as 'strongly desired' — preferred, not a hard gate.
Apache NiFi is listed under Desired Skills as 'a plus' — preferred.
Agile is listed under Desired Skills — preferred.
No specific work location city is stated; the posting is onsite at a Lockheed Martin facility but does not name a metro. Salary ranges reference multiple states (CA, MA, NY, CO, HI, IL, MD, MN, NJ, VT, WA, DC), suggesting the role may be filled at various sites. CBSA left blank accordingly.
The posting is classified as a Task Order/IDIQ, which is common for cleared defense work.
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.
