Why we read it this way (8)
The role is based in Vienna, VA with 'remote flexibility' — not fully remote; on-site presence is expected.
An active DoD Secret clearance is a hard gate; US Citizenship is also explicitly required.
The degree requirement is effectively None — the posting accepts 'equivalent work experience' in lieu of a Bachelor's degree.
CompTIA Security+ (or equivalent DoD 8140-compliant cert) is listed as required but with a 6-month grace period to attain it; treated as a hard gate since candidates must hold or be able to obtain it.
Selenium is listed as the primary named tool; Tricentis Tosca, Vaaden TestBench, Ranorex Studio, and Katalon Studio are presented as interchangeable alternatives ('such as') within the same requirement.
Performance testing and security testing tools appear only under Preferred Qualifications with no specific tool named; omitted as no concrete technology is identified.
The seniority band is Mid (5 years required, no org-wide scope or cross-team leadership indicated), despite the title carrying no explicit level label.
Requires a Secret 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.
