Why we read it this way (8)

The role blends full-stack software development with substantial DevSecOps/infrastructure-as-code responsibilities (Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation, deployment orchestration, patching, vulnerability scanning). The primary day-to-day work leans toward building and shipping software, so 15-1252 was chosen over 15-1244, but the infrastructure operations scope is significant.

The clearance requirement is stated as 'Active TS clearance and SCI eligible with the ability to obtain and maintain a CI Poly' — this is treated as a TS/SCI gate. The CI Poly is an additional requirement beyond TS/SCI but is not a separate clearance tier in the schema.

Python and Spring Boot appear in the responsibilities narrative rather than the formal qualifications block; they are marked preferred accordingly.

Oracle and SQL Server appear in the qualifications as part of a 'hands-on experience in at least three of the following' list, making them optional rather than individually required; marked preferred.

Jira appears only in the responsibilities section (Agile ceremonies context), not in the qualifications block; marked preferred.

The '4 years' experience' requirement is explicitly tied to the tool list: Ansible, Terraform, JMeter, EC2, ELB, RDS, Lambda, and Docker. That years figure is applied to each of those named tools.

No compensation range is stated in the posting.

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.
