Why we read it this way (9)
The posting requires candidates to 'have or be able to obtain a Public Trust' — this is a US government Public Trust suitability determination, not a formal security clearance (Confidential/Secret/TS), so the clearance requirement is set to None.
The role is titled 'SmartSheet Developer' with no standard SOC code for low-code/no-code platform developers. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is the best fit; 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is a reasonable runner-up given the business-process translation and requirements-gathering emphasis.
The posting explicitly states 'No agencies, third parties, or Corp-to-Corp submissions,' confirming this is not a C2C contract; the hourly rate and consulting context suggest a W2 contract engagement.
A Bachelor's degree in a relevant field is listed as 'Preferred,' not required, so the degree requirement is set to None.
Smartsheet Certified Professional or Smartsheet Certified Architect certifications are listed as preferred, not required.
FDA/federal government experience is listed under Preferred Experience only.
Power BI appears in the responsibilities narrative as an integration target rather than in the required qualifications block.
