Why we read it this way (6)
No work location is specified in the posting; CBSA/state fields are left blank. The TS/SCI with polygraph requirement strongly suggests a cleared-facility or government-contractor environment, likely in the DC/Northern Virginia/Maryland corridor, but this cannot be confirmed from the text alone.
HTML5 appears in the Responsibilities section as part of the described day-to-day work rather than in the formal Qualifications block (which lists only JavaScript, CSS, and Git), so it is marked preferred.
Java, Maven, Spring Boot, and Agile are explicitly labeled 'Desired skills' in the posting.
The 14-year experience floor is unusually high for a UI/front-end role and likely reflects program-level staffing requirements common in cleared government contracting rather than a pure technical bar.
The role title is not stated; the posting frames the work as UI/front-end development but the KSAs describe broader software engineering responsibilities including system integration and leading development teams — the SOC classification as Software Developers reflects that broader scope, with Web Developers noted as a plausible alternative.
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.
