Why we read it this way (7)
The role is listed under 'Various contract and work locations throughout Maryland, Virginia, Colorado, Texas, Utah, Alaska, Hawaii and OCONUS' — the CBSA is estimated as Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, MD given Wyetech's known headquarters, but the actual work site may differ.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree plus 8 years of relevant experience, or equivalent combination of education and experience' — because equivalent experience is explicitly accepted in lieu of a degree, the degree is not a hard gate.
The TS/SCI with agency-appropriate polygraph is an explicit hard requirement stated in both the qualifications and the preamble.
APIs are listed as a required deliverable ('Develop reusable software components, APIs, and analytic tools') in the Required Technical Skills section rather than as a named external tool; included as a required skill given the firm language.
Claude Code and Codex are listed together as examples of AI-assisted development tools under Desired Technical Skills — emitted as a single preferred skill with Codex as an alternative.
The role blends software development with data/analytic work, making 15-2051 (Data Scientists) a plausible secondary classification, but the primary emphasis on building and deploying software applications points to 15-1252.
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.
