Why we read it this way (7)
The JD states 'U.S. citizenship and ability to obtain and maintain a government security clearance; active Secret or TS clearance preferred.' The clearance is framed as a hard gate (must be obtainable) but an active clearance is only preferred. The clearance requirement is set to Secret as the minimum gateable posture — candidates must be clearance-eligible U.S. citizens.
Automated testing tools (Jest, Vitest, React Testing Library, Playwright, Cypress) are listed in the Requirements section but introduced with 'such as', indicating the specific tools are interchangeable; they are captured as a single preferred skill with alternatives rather than hard gates on any one tool.
CI/CD pipelines and cloud platforms appear under 'Familiarity with' and 'is a plus' language respectively, so both are marked preferred.
Compensation is described only as 'competitive salaried compensation package' with no figures provided.
The title 'Tech Lead' signals a leadership layer, but the role is explicitly described as hands-on full-stack engineering with mentoring responsibilities rather than a people-management role with direct-report ownership, so 15-1252 (Software Developers) is the correct SOC over 11-3021.
Requires a Secret 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.
Caller marked this a fully-remote role — scored against the national candidate pool.
