Why we read it this way (8)
The JD explicitly states 'no equivalencies accepted' for the Bachelor's degree requirement — this is a hard gate.
A federal Public Trust clearance is required ('must be able to obtain and maintain'), but this is not a national security clearance (Secret/TS); it is a suitability/background investigation. Clearance_required is set to None as Public Trust is not a US security clearance in the DoD/IC sense.
SSRS is listed as a required skill implicitly — candidates must lead the SSRS-to-Power BI migration, so familiarity with SSRS is a hard gate alongside Power BI.
Azure Databricks, Synapse, API Management, Azure Functions, Azure App Services, Azure Blob Storage, and Azure Monitor are all enumerated explicitly under Minimum Qualifications and are treated as hard gates individually.
Federal ATO/RMF experience and advanced Microsoft certifications appear under Preferred Qualifications.
The alternative occupation runner-up (15-1243 Database Architects) reflects the significant SQL Server database design and T-SQL work described, though the primary role is clearly software development.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Azure API Management.
