Why we read it this way (7)
The role is on-site at Ft. Belvoir, VA; the posting mentions remote work as a general company benefit depending on projects, but this specific role is tied to a classified/FedRAMP IL5/SIPR deployment context, making fully remote unlikely.
The title carries no seniority level word, so advertised seniority is Unspecified; however, the 5+ years requirement, ATO/compliance governance scope, and classified environment responsibilities support a Senior classification.
Salesforce and Appian are listed as examples of SaaS COTS solutions the candidate may lead integration of — they appear together as interchangeable examples rather than distinct hard requirements, so they are captured as a single preferred skill with an alternative.
FedRAMP/IL5 and SIPR environment experience are implied hard requirements by the role's core mission but are not listed under a formal 'Required' bullet; FedRAMP is captured as must-have given the explicit architectural compliance framing throughout the posting.
CAC (Common Access Card) authentication is mentioned as an identity integration method but is a protocol/standard rather than a named technology product, so it is not emitted as a standalone skill.
CompTIA Security+ and AWS Professional certifications appear under Preferred Qualifications.
Requires a Secret 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.
