Why we read it this way (11)
The JD explicitly states 'No equivalencies or substitutions for the degree requirement will be accepted' — a Bachelor's degree in CS, IT, or a related field is a hard gate.
Candidates must have resided continuously in the United States for the past 36 months and hold U.S. Citizenship — these are hard eligibility gates not captured in standard fields.
The posting states applicants will be subject to a security investigation and may need to meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information, but no specific clearance level is hard-required upfront; an active or prior clearance is listed only under Preferred/Desired.
Azure-specific services (Databricks, Synapse, API Management, Functions, App Services, Blob Storage, Monitor) are enumerated in both the Requirements section and the Responsibilities section with firm language ('Significant experience with… with a focus on'), so each is treated as a hard gate.
SSRS is listed in Responsibilities as a migration source (SSRS-to-Power BI) and appears throughout the project description; it is treated as required context given the role's explicit ownership of that migration.
SharePoint, Microsoft Power Platform, and Section 508 appear in the project/responsibilities narrative or Preferred/Desired section rather than the Requirements block.
ATO/RMF experience is listed under Preferred/Desired, as is Section 508 accessibility remediation experience.
Advanced Microsoft certifications (Azure Solutions Architect Expert, Azure Developer Associate) are listed under Preferred/Desired.
The role is internally leveled as 'E3' at 9th Way Insignia, described as a Senior Engineer-level position — consistent with the Senior seniority assessment.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Azure API Management.
