Why we read it this way (9)
The posting explicitly requires an active TS/SCI clearance WITH a polygraph — both are stated as hard gates in the title callout and the experience section.
No work location or CBSA is specified in the posting; the role is likely on-site at a government/intelligence community facility but the city is not disclosed.
The salary is stated as 'Up to $195K', providing only a ceiling with no floor; the top of the pay band is set to 195000 with no minimum.
The title carries no seniority level, but the posting calls for 'Subject Matter Expert Level Experience' and a broad set of hard technical requirements, supporting a Senior classification.
Tomcat, Node.js, and SSL are listed together as interchangeable examples of 'Internet and Web related protocols and technologies'; they are grouped under one skill entry with alternatives accordingly.
Jenkins and Nexus are listed as interchangeable DevOps tool examples; Git is a separate, distinct tool also listed in the same requirement.
FLSS and NES appear only under the 'highly desired but not mandatory' section and are treated as preferred. These appear to be sponsor-specific internal systems.
The alternative occupation code 15-1254 (Web Developers) is noted as a runner-up given the Single Page Application / intranet search focus, but the role's breadth — Java back-end, DevOps, cloud integration, and system design — makes 15-1252 (Software Developers) the stronger fit.
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.
