Why we read it this way (6)
This role is a genuine hybrid of UX/UI design and front-end development. 15-1255 (Web and Digital Interface Designers) was chosen as the primary SOC because the title, framing, and first-listed responsibilities center on UX design, wireframing, prototyping, and user research; however, the substantial React/TypeScript front-end development duties make 15-1252 (Software Developers) a strong runner-up.
The clearance requirement is listed as 'Public Trust', which is a federal suitability determination (background investigation), not a DoD security clearance — it does not map to Confidential/Secret/TopSecret, so the clearance requirement is set to None.
LLMs/Generative AI exposure is listed under the required 'Experience' section ('Exposure to AI/ML or Generative AI technologies'), making it a hard gate despite the softer 'exposure' language. Azure OpenAI and RAG appear only under the Preferred section.
Figma is listed in the required section alongside Adobe XD and Sketch as interchangeable options ('tools such as Figma, Adobe XD, or Sketch'); all three are captured as alternatives.
React is listed in the required section with the qualifier 'or similar frameworks'; Angular and Vue are captured as the well-known interchangeable substitutes.
The role is hybrid (minimum 3 days onsite in Rockville, MD) and is therefore not fully remote.
