Why we read it this way (7)

The posting is notably light on named technologies — no specific languages, frameworks, databases, or cloud platforms are mentioned anywhere. The skills list reflects only the concrete technical capabilities explicitly called out in the requirements.

The title 'Full Stack Developer II' implies a mid-level (Level II) position, consistent with the 2-year minimum experience requirement.

The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree (or equivalent)' — the explicit acceptance of equivalent experience means no formal degree is hard-gated.

Clearance: the posting requires the 'Ability to obtain Public Trust' — this is a federal suitability determination, not a formal US security clearance (Confidential/Secret/TS), so the clearance requirement is set to None.

The role is hybrid with 3 days onsite in Rockville, MD required, so it is not fully remote.

SOC confidence is Medium: the posting describes both client/server and web-based application development without naming specific technologies, making it difficult to distinguish cleanly between Software Developers (15-1252) and Web Developers (15-1254); 15-1252 is the stronger fit given the enterprise/full-stack framing.

Ignored 5 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Full Stack Development, enterprise application development, n-tier architecture, web application development, configuration management.
