Why we read it this way (7)
The role is classified as Software Developers (15-1252) rather than Systems Administrators (15-1244) because the JD explicitly calls for developing and deploying custom software components, infrastructure-as-code, and building applications from prototype to production — not merely operating existing infrastructure. The alt code 15-1244 is noted because cluster administration, Linux systems management, and network/security work are also prominent.
No clearance is required on day 1 — the posting states the candidate will be processed for one after hire. Holding a current Secret or TS/SCI clearance is listed under Desired Skills as preferred, not a hard gate.
Degree requirement is set to None: the JD offers multiple equivalent paths (Bachelor's + 5 yrs, Master's + 3 yrs, or HS diploma + 9 yrs), meaning no specific degree is hard-required.
The overall years minimum is set to 5, reflecting the primary experience path (5+ years with a Bachelor's); the HS diploma path requires 9 years but is an alternative, not the minimum across all paths.
Python and Go appear in the role description narrative as context ('programming skills in languages like Python or Go') and the 5+ years figure for Platform Engineering/Software Development in Python or Go is listed under Desired Skills — treated as preferred.
The Helm/Kustomize/Flux CD grouping is emitted as one skill with alternatives because the JD presents them as interchangeable examples of 'Kubernetes automation tools (e.g. …)'.
Big Data platform experience (Databricks, Cloudera CDH, Apache Spark, MapR Hadoop) is explicitly flagged as 'a plus' under Desired Skills.
