Why we read it this way (6)
Every named technology in this posting appears under a 'preferred skills or experiences' or 'What sets you apart' heading — none are hard-gated. All skills are therefore marked preferred.
The Basic Qualifications require a Bachelor's degree plus 2 years of experience OR a Master's plus 6 months. The minimum path (Bachelor's + 2 years) maps to a Junior/early-Mid level; the role is classified Junior accordingly.
The Secret clearance is listed as 'obtainable' after hire, not a pre-existing requirement — however, the JD does gate on the ability to obtain one (U.S. citizenship required, subject to government investigation), so it is flagged as Secret.
The role is on-site in Taunton, MA (with occasional travel to Dedham, MA). Taunton falls within the Providence-Warwick, RI-MA CBSA; the nearest large metro CBSA is Boston-Cambridge-Newton, MA-NH (14460), but Taunton is geographically closer to Providence. CBSA assigned as Providence-Warwick (39300).
The 9/80 compressed schedule (every other Friday off) is noted as a benefit but does not affect the employment type classification.
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.
