Why we read it this way (8)
The role sits at the intersection of software development and identity/access management security; 15-1252 (Software Developers) was chosen as primary because the JD centers on building and integrating authentication workflows and MFA solutions, with 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) as a close runner-up given the IAM/security focus.
Clearance: the JD requires U.S. Citizenship and the ability to obtain a Public Trust clearance. Public Trust is a federal suitability determination, not a formal national-security clearance (Confidential/Secret/TS), so the clearance requirement is set to None. Hiring managers should note the citizenship and Public Trust suitability requirement.
Degree requirement: the JD explicitly offers an equivalent-experience path (7+ years with no degree), so no minimum degree is hard-gated.
Total experience minimum is 5 years (with a Bachelor's degree); 7 years is required without one — the lower bound of 5 is used.
The role is hybrid on-site (Tysons Corner, VA, 3 days/week), not fully remote.
JavaScript/TypeScript and Java/Python are listed as 'proficiency in one or more' — JavaScript and Java are captured as the primary names with their common alternatives noted; this is a one-of requirement, not all-of.
Agile Scrum and Kanban are methodologies, not named tools, so they are not emitted as skills; Jira (the named tool) is captured instead.
AWS certifications (Certified Developer, Solutions Architect) appear under Preferred and are not emitted as skills since they are credentials, not technologies.
