Why we read it this way (7)
The title 'SWE3' implies a leveled internal classification, which typically maps to a senior individual contributor; the role also carries team-lead and mentoring responsibilities that could suggest a management classification, but the JD emphasizes hands-on coding and technical leadership rather than formal people management — hence Software Developers is the primary code, with Computer and Information Systems Managers as the runner-up.
The degree requirement states a Bachelor's in CS or related field is required, but explicitly allows substitution with 4 additional years of SWE experience, so no hard degree gate is set.
The '7 years of experience in Software Database and Repository Interface Development' is listed under required qualifications but reads as a domain-experience gate rather than a named technology; it is captured in the overall years minimum context but not emitted as a named skill since no specific tool is identified.
CI/CD pipelines and cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GovCloud) are listed in the requirements section but qualified with 'is a plus', so they are marked as preferred.
Linux/Ubuntu environment is explicitly called 'a plus' in the requirements section and is marked preferred accordingly.
The 'Additional Skills & Experience That Would be Nice to Have' section describes responsibilities and methodologies rather than named technologies, so no additional skills were extracted from it.
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.
