Why we read it this way (7)
The required experience threshold is 3 years of ServiceNow development (paired with a Bachelor's degree), which maps to a Mid-level role. The desired qualifications ask for 6+ years and lead/architect experience, but those are explicitly optional.
The hard-required clearance is Top Secret (active TS is required; TS/SCI is listed only under Desired Qualifications). Candidates should be aware that TS/SCI is strongly preferred given the federal intelligence community context.
IAT II certification (CompTIA Security+ or equivalent) is listed under Required Qualifications and is treated as a hard gate. The ServiceNow CAD/CTA certifications and cloud certifications (AWS, Azure) appear only under Desired Qualifications.
The role is on-site in Hanover, MD. The CBSA used is Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, MD, which encompasses Hanover.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: ServiceNow development is primarily custom application/workflow development (15-1252), but the platform-configuration and low-code nature of ServiceNow could also fit 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other).
Relational databases and data modeling are called out as required experience but name no specific database product, so no named skill was emitted.
Requires a Top 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.
