Why we read it this way (8)
No work location or metro area is specified in the posting; the CBSA is left blank. Given the TS/SCI w/ FSP clearance requirement, this is almost certainly an on-site role at a cleared facility, but the city/state is not disclosed.
The degree requirement is treated as None because the JD explicitly allows substitution of 4 years of additional SWE experience in lieu of a bachelor's degree.
The role blends systems engineering (requirements capture, test/validation) and software development (back-end, UI, full-stack); the primary day-to-day work described is software development in Python, so 15-1252 is the primary code. 15-1211 is noted as a runner-up given the systems-engineering duties.
The web UI requirement lists 'modern Java, Javascript, and/or HTML' — Java here likely refers to JavaScript (a common conflation in older contract language); all three are grouped as alternatives on the JavaScript skill since the JD presents them as interchangeable options for the UI requirement.
ActiveMQ, REST, NoSQL, and Elasticsearch are listed together with 'and/or' connectives in the requirements section; each is emitted as a separate skill since they are distinct technologies, not true substitutes for one another — except NoSQL and Elasticsearch, which are grouped as alternatives given the JD's phrasing.
The map software skill (dynamic/interactive map software) appears only under the Preferred section and is marked accordingly.
The compensation narrative mentions $180,000 as a single figure in the 'Compensation Details' line, but the 'Salary Range' line states $170,000–$180,000; the range is used as the authoritative figure.
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.
