Why we read it this way (11)

The role requires an active TS/SCI with Polygraph — this is a hard gate explicitly stated at the top of the posting.

The title is simply 'SWE' (Software Engineer) with no level modifier; advertised seniority is Unspecified. However, the 12-year experience requirement and team leadership/mentoring duties support a Senior classification.

The degree requirement is effectively None: the JD explicitly allows substituting 4 additional years of SWE experience for the Bachelor's degree.

React, Angular, and Vue are listed as interchangeable front-end framework options ('e.g., React, Angular, Vue'); React is captured as the primary with the others as alternatives.

Node.js, Python, and Java are listed as interchangeable backend options; Node.js is captured as primary with the others as alternatives.

AWS is listed in the required skills section alongside 'Azure is a plus' — AWS is treated as a hard gate; Azure is separately captured as preferred given the explicit 'plus' qualifier.

CI/CD pipelines and cloud environments (AWS) appear in the required skills block but are softened slightly by context; they are retained as required given their placement in the 'Required Skills' section.

Linux/Ubuntu is explicitly called out as 'a plus' in the required skills section, so it is marked preferred.

The 7-year 'Software Database and Repository Interface Development' requirement is a role-level experience demand tied to no specific named technology, so it is not emitted as a skill; it is subsumed by the higher 12-year overall years minimum.

The alternative occupation of 15-1254 (Web Developers) was considered given the strong front-end/UI emphasis, but the full-stack scope, backend development, API design, and systems integration work point more clearly to 15-1252 (Software Developers).

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.
