Why we read it this way (7)
An active TS/SCI clearance with polygraph is a hard gate — US citizenship is also explicitly required.
The Bachelor's degree requirement is waivable with 4 additional years of experience, so the degree requirement is set to None.
Git and Bitbucket are listed as interchangeable alternatives ('Git or Bitbucket') under the requirements section.
AI/LLM experience is listed in the requirements section with firm language; LLMs is captured as the concrete technology. General 'AI technologies' and 'machine learning solutions' are omitted as they name no specific tool.
The role is on-site at Visionist HQ in Columbia, MD (Baltimore CBSA); no remote option is indicated.
The posting title carries no seniority level, but 8 years of software development experience required supports a Senior classification.
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.
