Why we read it this way (5)
The role is based in either Fairfax, VA or Tampa, FL; the salary range ($62,000–$80,000/year) is explicitly quoted for the Fairfax, VA office and may vary by location. The CBSA reflects the Fairfax/DC-metro primary anchor.
The Public Trust clearance is framed as a condition of employment (must be a U.S. citizen capable of obtaining one), not a hard pre-existing clearance gate — the candidate need not already hold a clearance, so the clearance requirement is set to None.
GIS knowledge is explicitly called out as 'beneficial but not required' in the posting, so it is listed as preferred.
Experience range is stated as 0–3 years, consistent with a Junior-level role; total years minimum is set to 0 (entry-level acceptable).
The alt SOC (15-2031 Operations Research Analysts) reflects the data management, visualization, and analytics emphasis of the team, though the primary day-to-day work is building Power Platform applications, which aligns more closely with Software Developers (15-1252).
