Day-to-day work centers on developing data pipelines, automation flows, REST API integrations, and server/client-side scripting within the ServiceNow platform.

Why we read it this way (8)
Location is not specified in the posting; no CBSA or state could be determined. CACI is a US federal contractor, so the role is almost certainly US-based, but the specific site is unknown.
The posting requires an active TS/SCI with Polygraph — not merely the ability to obtain one — making this a hard gate that will significantly constrain the candidate pool.
Security+ (or IAT Level II equivalent) is listed as required but may be obtained within one month of start; treated as a hard gate given the explicit 'required' language.
The SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is primarily ServiceNow platform development (software engineering), but the heavy data-integration and configuration emphasis could also fit a systems analyst classification.
Java is listed under Required qualifications as 'preferred' within that section ('at least a minimal understanding of a scripting language, Java is preferred'); treated as preferred rather than a hard gate given the hedged phrasing.
The salary range ($103,800–$218,100/year) is very wide; CACI notes it reflects variation across geographic locations and federal contract wage rates.
The posting states 4+ years of overall software development experience with a minimum of 3 years specifically in ServiceNow; the 3-year figure is captured on the ServiceNow skill and 4 years is set as the overall years minimum.
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.
