Why we read it this way (6)
The posting requires a TS/SCI clearance with a Polygraph — specifically described as 'TS/SCI + Polygraph' and 'TS/SCI + Poly', which maps to TopSecretSci. The polygraph requirement is a hard gate.
The individual AWS services (EC2, Lambda, S3, SQS, SNS, Batch, ECS, ECR, Translate, Transcribe) are all enumerated under the required 'What You Must Have' section as services 'used in this environment', making them hard gates as a group.
AWS CDK, Docker, proxies/VPNs, browser dev tools, and Kiro CLI all appear under the 'Nice to Have' section and are marked preferred accordingly.
No minimum years of experience are stated at the role level; the posting uses qualitative language ('extensive experience') rather than a numeric threshold.
The role is explicitly on-site in Chantilly, VA and various Northern VA field offices; remote work is not supported.
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.
