Why we read it this way (9)
The posting requires an active TS/SCI with Polygraph — this is a hard gate explicitly stated.
20 years of software engineering experience is required. The degree requirement is effectively waived by the substitution clause ('4 years of additional SWE experience may be substituted for a bachelor's degree'), so the degree requirement is set to None.
NiFi appears in both the Required Skills section (developing/maintaining workflows, custom processors) and the Desired Skills section (dataflow management and ingestion). It is marked required based on its explicit presence in the Required Skills block.
Docker and containerd are listed together as containerization technologies; Docker is the primary named tool with containerd as an alternative.
GitLab CI and ArgoCD are listed together under Desired Skills as CI/CD tools; GitLab CI is the primary with ArgoCD as an alternative.
OpenSearch and Elasticsearch are listed together under Desired Skills; OpenSearch is the primary with Elasticsearch as an alternative.
'Amazon HCI platform' is an unusual/ambiguous term — it may refer to AWS HyperConverged Infrastructure or a mission-specific platform. Listed as preferred per its placement under Desired Skills.
Agile and soft skills (debugging, documentation, communication) listed under Desired Skills are generic concepts and are not emitted as named technology skills.
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.
