Why we read it this way (9)

An active TS/SCI with Polygraph clearance is an explicit hard gate — candidates without it cannot be considered for this role.

The JD states '5-7 years of experience with Python'; the overall years minimum is set to 5 (the minimum of the range). The Python years also serve as the closest proxy for overall role experience, as no separate role-level experience figure is given.

Flask is listed as the primary framework with Django and FastAPI as named alternatives ('Flask, Django, FastAPI'); all three are captured accordingly.

SQLAlchemy is listed with the qualifier 'or other ORM technologies' — it is still a hard gate on ORM capability; SQLAlchemy is named as the primary example with no other specific ORM named.

React is listed as the primary front-end framework with Angular and Vue as named alternatives ('React, Angular, or Vue').

Container experience ('building and deploying containers') is required but no specific runtime is named; Docker is the canonical tool for this capability.

A Bachelor's or Master's degree in a technical field is listed under 'What Would be Nice to Have' — it is explicitly optional and not a hard requirement.

The role is located in Chantilly, VA, which falls within the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV CBSA.

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.
