What this job asks for AI summary
A government-focused software engineering role building analytic data processing solutions and pipelines for classified defense and intelligence missions. The work centers on developing end-to-end systems using Python, Java, large-scale distributed frameworks, and cloud platforms, with an emphasis on processing and analyzing large datasets. Candidates must hold an active TS/SCI clearance with a polygraph and bring substantial experience in software engineering or data analytics development.
Senior level · 7+ years · San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX · TS/SCI clearance · Full-time
Long application — this platform typically asks you to create an account and re-enter your work history.
“or” means any one of them counts — you don't need all of them.

Why we read it this way (9)
The role requires a TS/SCI clearance with a full-scope polygraph (FSP), explicitly stated as a hard gate in both the qualifications and clearance sections.
The degree requirement is effectively None: the JD offers a path via HS diploma/GED + 11 years OR a Bachelor's in CS/Engineering + 7 years, meaning no specific degree is strictly required. The 7-year figure is used as the overall years minimum (the lower bound under the degree path).
Pandas, NumPy, and SciPy are listed together as examples of Python libraries; Pandas is used as the primary skill name with NumPy and SciPy as alternatives since any one satisfies the requirement.
Apache Spark and MapReduce are listed as interchangeable large-scale processing frameworks; Spark is used as the primary with MapReduce as the alternative.
AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud are listed as interchangeable cloud environments; AWS is used as the primary with Azure and GCP as alternatives.
Git and Agile appear only under the 'Nice If You Have' section and are marked as preferred accordingly.
'PMR' (listed under Nice to Have) is an opaque acronym with no clear canonical technology name and has been omitted from the skills list as it cannot be reliably identified as a specific named tool.
The SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role blends software development (Python/Java pipelines) with data analytics/data science work (Pandas, Spark, large-dataset analysis), making 15-2051 Data Scientists a plausible alternative.
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.
