Why we read it this way (8)
The JD explicitly states 'No equivalencies or substitutions for the degree requirement will be accepted' — a Bachelor's degree is a hard gate.
The role works on .NET web applications, SharePoint, Power BI, and SQL Server databases for the VA. The alt SOC 15-1254 (Web Developers) was considered given the WebForms/ASP.NET Core web application focus, but the breadth of backend development, database work, CI/CD, and cloud migration activity makes 15-1252 (Software Developers) the better fit.
Azure DevOps, Azure services, and Section 508 experience are listed under the 'Preferred/Desired' section and are therefore not hard gates.
The JD notes applicants 'may need to meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information' but does not gate on holding or obtaining a specific clearance level — no clearance is required.
U.S. citizenship and 36-month continuous U.S. residency are stated requirements but are not representable as skills; hiring managers should note these as eligibility gates.
JavaScript and CSS appear in the responsibilities section ('Develop and modify application code using C#, .NET Core MVC, legacy .NET Framework v4.8, JavaScript, and CSS') alongside the hard-required technologies, and are treated as required accordingly.
The posting describes this as an 'E2' / mid-level Engineer role explicitly, consistent with the 4+ years requirement and working under senior developer direction.
Caller marked this a fully-remote role — scored against the national candidate pool.
