Why we read it this way (8)

An active TS/SCI clearance with polygraph is an explicit hard gate — candidates must hold one to be considered.

The degree requirement is effectively None: the JD accepts either a bachelor's degree OR 3 years of software development experience as equivalent alternatives; the overall years minimum is set to 3 to reflect the experience path.

The posting names a broad list of acceptable web/scripting languages (JavaScript, Java, ASP.NET, Perl, PHP, Ruby on Rails, Flex, Silverlight) as interchangeable options for the primary development requirement; JavaScript is listed first and most prominently.

The title 'Full Performance developer' is an internal/contract labor-category term (not a standard seniority label), so advertised seniority is treated as Unspecified. The 3-year minimum and scope of work support a Mid-level classification.

The company contact information (phone 410-290-9035, Maryland area code) and VEVRAA Federal Contractor status suggest a Maryland-based cleared facility, most likely in the Baltimore/Columbia/Annapolis metro area.

No compensation figures are provided in the posting.

Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): web services development.

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.
