Why we read it this way (10)
The job title 'Software Engineer II' signals a mid-level (II) position, consistent with the 3+ years experience requirement.
The degree requirement states a Bachelor's in CS/CE/EE/Math 'or similar', but explicitly allows 4 years of experience as a substitute — treated as no hard degree gate.
TypeScript, Python, and React are listed together with 'and/or' language in the requirements section ('exposure to TypeScript, Python, and/or React is a strong fit'); they are emitted as separate skills with TypeScript carrying the alternatives array to reflect the 'or' framing, while Python and React are also individually required by the stack description.
PostgreSQL, RAG, and vector stores appear only in the 'A Day in the Life' narrative stack description, not in the formal requirements block — treated as preferred/context.
AI-native IDEs are explicitly called out as required ('Fluency with AI-native IDEs') in the requirements section.
SSO/identity hooks and RBAC-aware behavior are listed under the formal requirements block ('production cross-cutting basics') and are treated as hard gates.
RMF/ATO and ICD 705 appear only under 'Nice to Have' and are marked preferred.
No work location or metro area is specified in the posting; the TS/SCI with Polygraph requirement strongly implies an on-site role at a cleared facility, but no city or state is named.
No compensation figures are provided.
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.
