Why we read it this way (9)
The posting requires a minimum of 5 years supporting Federal Government IT systems in addition to the 10-year overall experience floor; this federal-domain requirement cannot be represented as a named technology skill but is a meaningful screening criterion.
The Required Technical Skills section is a flat enumerated list with no per-skill year demands; all items in that section are treated as hard gates.
Azure DevOps and GitHub are listed together under DevOps with 'and/or' language in the responsibilities; they are captured as a single skill with GitHub as an alternative.
FastAPI, Flask, and Django are listed as interchangeable Python framework options ('FastAPI, Flask, or Django'); captured as one skill with alternatives.
JavaScript and TypeScript are listed as a combined token 'JavaScript/TypeScript' in the required skills; they are genuinely interchangeable in many contexts here, so captured as one skill with TypeScript as an alternative.
Infrastructure as Code is listed under Required Technical Skills as 'Infrastructure as Code concepts' — this is a conceptual/methodology item with no specific named tool, so it is omitted per extraction rules.
All items under Preferred Qualifications (certifications) and Preferred Experience are marked as preferred.
No security clearance is explicitly required; the role involves federal systems and ATO support but the JD does not gate on holding or obtaining a clearance.
The role is described as hybrid (not fully remote), based in Washington, DC.
