Why we read it this way (6)
The role is specifically a CNO (Computer Network Operations) Analyst/Programmer — a specialized offensive/defensive cyber engineering function common in the intelligence community. The primary day-to-day work is software development (full-stack, CNO tooling), so 15-1252 Software Developers is the best fit; 15-1299 is noted as a runner-up given the specialized CNO/cyber-operations framing.
A TS/SCI with Full Scope Polygraph is an explicit hard gate — the posting states 'TS/SCI/Full Scope Poly clearance only' twice.
The programming languages (Assembly, C, C++, Java, Perl, Python) are listed as a single interchangeable set under the required responsibilities — the role requires proficiency in at least one, not necessarily all. They are emitted as separate skills with each listed as an alternative to the others to reflect this.
Degree requirement is set to None because the JD explicitly allows substitution of the bachelor's degree with four additional years of experience (12 years total in lieu of a degree), making the degree non-mandatory.
The 8-year experience floor is the stated minimum (a master's degree can reduce it to 6, but 8 is the baseline without a graduate degree). The location is Annapolis Junction / Ft. Meade, MD, which falls within the Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, MD CBSA.
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.
