Why we read it this way (7)
The role is labeled 'SWE-3', a seniority tier used by government contractors. The minimum qualifying path is 7 years of SWE experience with a Bachelor's degree (or 9 years with no degree), supporting a Senior classification despite no explicit 'Senior' title.
Degree requirement is set to None because the JD offers a no-degree path (9 years of experience) as a full alternative to holding a Bachelor's or Master's degree.
The overall years minimum is set to 7, the lowest qualifying experience threshold (Bachelor's + 7 years); the no-degree path requires 9 years.
An active TS/SCI with Polygraph is explicitly required — candidates must already hold it.
Jira and Confluence are listed together under 'Position Desired Skills' as the Atlassian Tool Suite; they are captured as a single preferred skill with Confluence as an alternative since the posting treats them as a bundled suite rather than independent requirements.
GitLab CI is named as an example under CI/CD tools ('such as GitLab CI'); per the JD's section placement in required skills with firm language, it is treated as a hard gate. The 'such as' qualifier signals the specific tool is interchangeable, but CI/CD tooling itself is required.
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.
