Why we read it this way (8)
The role gates on holding an active ServiceNow Certified System Administrator (CSA) credential — this is listed as a minimum qualification alongside the degree, not under preferred.
The degree requirement (Bachelor's in IT/CS or related field) explicitly accepts 'equivalent experience' as a substitute, so the degree requirement is set to None.
The clearance requirement is 'ability to obtain and maintain a Public Trust' — this is not a named US security clearance tier (Confidential/Secret/TS), so the clearance requirement is set to None. Candidates must be US citizens per the government contract requirement.
REST and SOAP appear together as integration protocols in a context section ('REST/SOAP data flows as applicable'); REST is named primary with SOAP as an alternative since the JD treats them interchangeably in this context.
CMDB, Automated Test Framework, ITIL v4, Agile/DevSecOps, and the ServiceNow Certified Implementation Specialist – Data Foundations certification all appear explicitly under the 'Preferred Qualifications' section.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
The alternative occupation code 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is noted as a runner-up given the platform governance, configuration, and business-process alignment aspects of the role, but the primary day-to-day work is platform administration, making 15-1244 the stronger fit.
