Why we read it this way (5)
This posting covers two levels simultaneously: Level 2 (Mid) requires a Bachelor's + 2 years or a Master's; Level 3 (Senior) requires a Bachelor's + 5 years or a Master's + 3 years. The salary range shown ($79,300–$118,900) corresponds to the Level 2 (Primary) band only — the Level 3 (Secondary) range is listed as $0–$0, suggesting it was not published. Seniority and total experience minimum are set to the lower Level 2 gate.
The clearance gate is an active DoD Secret or higher at start, with the additional requirement to obtain and maintain a Top Secret and SAP clearance before employment commences. This is treated as a Secret hard gate for start, with TS/SAP as a condition of employment.
The role is explicitly on-site daily in Melbourne, FL — no remote work.
The alt SOC (15-1211 Computer Systems Analysts) is noted because the role also involves engaging with internal customers to define requirements and supporting business management systems (CSM/FPRA), giving it a meaningful systems-analyst dimension alongside the software development work.
Requires a Secret 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.
