Why we read it this way (10)
The role is fully remote but requires occasional in-person meetings in the Washington, DC metro area.
Public Trust clearance is required (must be able to obtain), but this is not a national-security clearance (Secret/TS), so the clearance requirement is set to None per schema guidance.
U.S. Citizenship is a hard gate explicitly stated with 'NO EXCEPTIONS'.
A Bachelor's degree is 'strongly preferred' with a technical major — not hard-required — so the degree requirement is set to None.
Vue.js is the named front-end framework used in the application stack; React, Angular, and jQuery are listed as acceptable alternatives ('or other frameworks … such as').
Azure SQL Database appears both as a required Azure service and as an alternative to SQL Server in the relational database requirement; it is listed separately to capture both contexts.
CI/CD pipeline experience is listed under Bonus Points (Preferred), with Jenkins, Azure DevOps, and GitHub Actions named as example technologies.
AI/automation experience is listed under Bonus Points but names no specific tool or platform, so it is omitted per the no-generic-concepts rule.
Azure certifications (AZ-104, AZ-305) are listed as preferred but are credentials, not technologies, so they are omitted from the skills list.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
