Why we read it this way (10)
The posting explicitly describes this as an 'entry-level position,' supporting the Junior seniority classification despite the 1-year minimum experience stated in the Basic Qualifications.
The title 'Software Integration Engineer' carries no seniority modifier, so advertised seniority is Unspecified.
A Secret clearance is listed as 'preferred at time of hire' in the Basic Qualifications preamble, but the Required Qualifications section states candidates 'must be eligible to obtain' one — treated as a hard gate on eligibility/obtainability, not current possession.
Windows and Linux appear in the Responsibilities section as the operating environments the role works within; Kubernetes is also named there as a specific technology to support — all three are treated as hard requirements given their placement in the role's core duties.
All Preferred Qualifications skills (VMware/Hyper-V, Docker, Kubernetes as a preferred item, scripting languages, SQL, networking, DevOps/CI/CD tools) are listed under an explicit 'Preferred Qualifications' heading and are marked accordingly.
Kubernetes appears in both the Responsibilities (as a core duty) and Preferred Qualifications sections; it is marked required based on its presence in the responsibilities.
Networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, routing, firewalls) and cybersecurity principles were omitted from the skills list as they name no specific tool or platform.
The role is on-site in Groton, CT, which falls within the Norwich-New London, CT CBSA (35980).
The 9/80 flexible schedule and every-other-Friday-off benefit are noted in the posting but cannot be represented in structured fields.
Requires a Secret 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.
