Why we read it this way (10)
The caller has overridden the posting's stated location (Arlington, VA, in-office 3–4 days/week, explicitly not fully remote) and directed that this be treated as a fully-remote, national-pool role. The metro and state fields have been left blank accordingly.
This is a SkillBridge internship (military transition program), but the posting frames conversion to full-time as Mid–Senior level; seniority is assessed as Mid given the 2+ years minimum experience gate and the overall scope described.
The title says 'ALL LEVELS' but the required skills section gates on 2+ years of professional experience and mid-senior framing for conversion hires; the title states no level as the title carries no single level word.
Clearance: the posting requires candidates to be willing to obtain a TS/SCI CI Poly if they do not already hold one, and states it will consider Secret and above — treated as a TS/SCI gate.
Degree: the posting prefers a BS but also accepts an Associate's degree or coding bootcamp completion, and uses 'preferred' language for technical degrees — no hard degree requirement.
The OO language requirement names Java, Python, C#, and C++ as interchangeable options (only one required); Java is listed as the primary with the others as alternatives. Similarly, one MVC framework and one relational database are required, with the named options treated as alternatives.
Python appears both as an alternative to Java in the required OO-language slot and again as a preferred scripting language; it is listed separately under preferred to reflect the posting's explicit 'Preferred Technical Skills' section.
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.
Posting is for a internship engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
Caller marked this a fully-remote role — scored against the national candidate pool.
