Why we read it this way (4)
The posting explicitly requires candidates to 'obtain and maintain a DHS CBP Public Trust clearance.' A Public Trust is a suitability determination, not a national security clearance (Confidential/Secret/TS), so the clearance requirement is set to None. Hiring managers should be aware this is still a background investigation requirement that will screen out some candidates.
The Required Qualifications list both Oracle DB, PostgreSQL DB, and MySQL as distinct named databases — all three are treated as hard gates since they appear together in the requirements section. The alternatives field on Oracle reflects that the three are listed as a group, but all three are individually required.
AWS and Kubernetes appear only under Preferred Qualifications, as does Kubernetes specifically — both are marked preferred despite AWS/Kubernetes being mentioned in passing in the 'What You'll Be Doing' section, because the Preferred section is the authoritative gate signal.
The role is on-site or hybrid in Ashburn, VA; fully remote work is not offered.
