The role is contingent upon contract award, which may affect actual start timing and headcount.
Remote work is listed as an option alongside Washington D.C. and Kansas, but is also noted as 'contingent upon award' — the remote status may depend on contract terms.
The clearance requirement is a Public Trust / Moderate Risk determination (not a traditional security clearance), so it does not meet the threshold for any of the standard clearance levels; treated as None.
The posting titles this role 'Programmer Lead' with no explicit seniority level in the title; advertised seniority is set to Unspecified accordingly.
Cerner (Oracle Health) and VA EHRM experience are described as 'strongly preferred,' not required — listed as preferred skills.
Healthcare IT, system integration, and federal security compliance are also framed as 'strongly preferred' — listed as preferred skills.
The role has meaningful team-lead and people-management duties (leading a team, mentoring, deliverables ownership), making 11-3021 a plausible alternative classification, though the primary day-to-day work appears to be hands-on software development and technical oversight.
