Why we read it this way (7)
The JD requires 'eligibility for a US Security Clearance' and US Citizenship as a hard gate, but does not require an active clearance — only the ability to obtain one. An active Secret clearance is listed under Desired. Clearance_required is therefore set to None (no active clearance mandated), but candidates must be US citizens eligible for a clearance.
The degree requirement is a Bachelor's in CS/Engineering or equivalent STEM field with 2+ years of experience, OR a Master's degree with 0 years. Because a Master's can substitute for the experience floor (not the degree itself), a degree is still required; Bachelor's is the minimum.
Front-end framework requirement lists React, Angular, and Vue.js as a group; React is named first and Angular is explicitly called out again in the Required section, so React is used as the primary with Angular and Vue.js as alternatives.
Back-end language requirement lists Rust, Python, and Java as a group; Rust is named first and all three are presented as interchangeable options for the same requirement.
Back-end framework requirement (Django, Flask, Spring, Express.js) is listed under 'Familiarity with' in the Required section — the substitution qualifier 'etc.' signals interchangeability, so Django is the primary with the others as alternatives.
Testing frameworks (front-end and back-end) appear under Desired and are not named specifically enough to emit as a concrete skill.
Space domain / wargaming experience is listed as a plus under Desired — no specific technology named, so omitted from the skills list.
