Why we read it this way (12)

An active or reinstateable TS/SCI with Polygraph (CI within the last 7 years) is an explicit hard gate — the posting opens and closes with this requirement.

Experience requirement is stated as '9 years with a bachelor's degree OR 7 years with a master's degree'; the overall years minimum is set to 9 (the lower-bound scenario requiring the most experience). The degree itself is not a hard gate because equivalent experience is accepted in lieu of each degree level.

Java is listed as 'Java 17+' in the Required Skills section; the version qualifier is noted but the skill is captured as Java.

JavaScript frameworks are listed as required with React called out by name; React is captured as the primary required skill.

NoSQL, Relational, and Object datastores are grouped together under Required Skills as 'modern datastores'; NoSQL and SQL (relational) are captured as separate required skills.

Spring Boot appears in the Duties section with firm language ('Writing Java Spring Boot based micro service applications'); Spring (the broader framework) appears separately under Desired Skills and is marked preferred.

Python appears in the Duties section with firm language ('Utilize Python to optimize AWS services') and is marked required.

AWS appears in the Duties section with firm language and is marked required; AWS managed services also appear under Desired Skills but are subsumed by the required AWS skill.

CI/CD appears in both the Duties section (as a principle to implement) and the Desired Skills section; it is marked preferred because the Desired Skills section is the more specific placement and the Duties framing is more of a methodology reference.

The role is located in Annapolis Junction, MD, which falls within the Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, MD CBSA. Partial telework (16 hrs/week) is offered but only after an acclimation period and can be removed; the role is not fully remote.

FOSS & GOTS familiarity appears under Desired Skills and is a domain concept rather than a named technology tool; it is omitted per the generic-concept rule.

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.
