Why we read it this way (8)
The role is classified as Software Developers (15-1252) rather than Web Developers (15-1254) because it involves building a full browser-based application integrated with RESTful APIs and a cloud-native AWS backend — not primarily authoring web pages or CMS content.
Active TS/SCI clearance is an explicit hard gate in the Required Qualifications section.
The 5+ years requirement is stated jointly for React and JavaScript ('5+ years of hands-on experience with React and JavaScript'); the years demanded is set on both skills accordingly.
Docker and AWS are listed in Required Qualifications but AWS is softened with 'preferably' — AWS is retained as required because it appears under the hard-gate heading; the 'preferably' qualifier signals only that deep AWS expertise is a plus, not that cloud experience itself is optional.
NodeJS, SQL, and REST (RESTful APIs) appear in the Tech Stack narrative or in the 'What You'll Do' responsibilities section rather than under Required Qualifications, so they are marked as preferred.
No compensation figures were provided in the posting.
No explicit office location is stated, but the client is NGA (Springfield, VA); the Washington DC metro CBSA is used as the most likely work location. Remote work is not offered.
Requires a TS/SCI 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.
