Why we read it this way (9)
The role is a genuine hybrid of front-end software development and data science; primary day-to-day work leans toward building and shipping web applications (React, data visualization, Palantir Foundry), so 15-1252 Software Developers was chosen over 15-2051 Data Scientists, but confidence is Medium given the strong data science component.
The title is simply 'Developer' with no level modifier; however, the requirements include technical leadership, architecture guidance, client relationship management, and mentorship alongside 3–5 years of experience, supporting a Senior classification.
The degree requirement accepts 'equivalent work experience' as a substitute for a Bachelor's degree, so no minimum degree is hard-gated.
The 3–5 year experience range in the minimum qualifications is used as the overall years minimum (3); a separate preferred qualification calls for '3+ years of directly related experience' and a Master's degree, both treated as preferred.
R and Shiny are explicitly called 'a plus' in the minimum qualifications section and are therefore preferred.
AI/ML integration experience, AI frameworks (OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, LangChain), Storybook, advanced dashboarding, classified data experience, and Army/DoD background all appear under 'Additional Preferred Qualifications' and are marked preferred accordingly.
pandas and numpy are listed as 'or similar' alternatives for Python data manipulation; pandas is used as the primary skill name with numpy in alternatives.
D3.js, Plotly, and Recharts are listed as interchangeable data visualization library options; D3.js is the primary with the others as alternatives.
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.
