Why we read it this way (5)
The posting lists Washington D.C. and Kansas as primary locations, with remote work contingent upon contract award — the role may require on-site presence depending on the award outcome.
The clearance requirement is 'Public Trust / Moderate Risk' (ability to obtain), not a traditional security clearance tier; the clearance requirement field is set to None as Public Trust is not a classified clearance gate, but hiring managers should be aware candidates must be clearable at that level.
Cerner (Oracle Health) EHR experience and VA EHRM program background are explicitly described as 'strongly preferred,' not required — listed accordingly.
SDLC and QA methodologies appear in the requirements section; SDLC is retained as a named standard (though borderline generic) because the posting explicitly calls it out as a required understanding. Generic 'QA methodologies' and 'secure testing practices' are omitted as they name no specific tool or framework.
Employment type is not stated in the posting; the role is contingent upon contract award, suggesting it may be contract-based, but this is not confirmed.
