We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (6)
The Cloud Developer Certification is a hard gate, but the posting lists four acceptable certifications as alternatives: AWS Certified Developer-Associate, AWS DevOps Engineer Professional, Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD), and Elastic Certified Engineer. Any one of these satisfies the requirement; they are captured as a single required skill with alternatives.
A Master's degree in a technical field is accepted as equivalent to 4 of the required 5 years of experience, so no formal degree is strictly required — the degree requirement is set to None.
All skills under 'Desired Skills' are preferred, not required. Kubernetes and Elasticsearch are inferred from the CKAD and Elastic Certified Engineer certifications listed as acceptable alternatives for the cloud certification gate; they appear in the desired/context sections only.
The role is located in Annapolis Junction, MD, which falls within the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria CBSA. The posting mentions 'Work From Home Opportunities' as a benefit but does not describe the role as fully remote; remote is set to false.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the core role is cloud software development (15-1252), but the desired skills lean heavily toward data science and analytics (15-2051). The primary framing and hard requirements point to software engineering.
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.
