Why we read it this way (6)
An active or reinstateable TS/SCI with Polygraph (in-scope within 7 years) is an absolute hard gate — the posting leads with this requirement and instructs non-holders not to apply.
The role is based in Annapolis Junction, MD (near Fort Meade), placed within the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria CBSA. Partial telework (up to 16 hrs/week) is available at leadership discretion after onboarding — not fully remote.
The degree requirement is effectively waived: the JD accepts 4 additional years of SWE experience in lieu of a BS, so the degree requirement is set to None.
14+ years of Software Engineering experience is stated as a hard gate at the role level. The six named technologies (Hadoop, Accumulo, AWS, Terraform, Java, Python) all appear under the 'Key Skills' heading with no preferred/optional qualifier, treating them as required.
Despite the 14+ year experience floor, the scope described (sustaining mission software on a government subcontract) aligns with a Senior individual-contributor band rather than Staff or Principal — no org-wide technical authority or cross-team direction-setting is indicated.
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.
