Why we read it this way (7)
The role is located in Annapolis Junction, MD — mapped to the Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, MD CBSA, which encompasses that area.
The experience requirement has two paths: HS Diploma/GED + 18 years, or Bachelor's in CS/related + 14 years. The overall years minimum is set to 14 (the lower bound when a degree is held). No degree is hard-required since the HS/GED path is explicitly offered.
TS/SCI with polygraph is explicitly stated as required both in the qualifications section and the clearance section — this is a hard gate.
Git is listed with 'or similar source code management tools'; common substitutes (SVN, Mercurial) are captured in alternatives.
Docker Compose and Maven appear only under the 'Nice If You Have' section, so they are marked preferred despite Docker itself being required.
Jira and Confluence appear only under 'Nice If You Have' and are marked preferred.
Requires a TS/SCI 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.
