Why we read it this way (8)
The clearance requirement is described as an active 'Tier 2 Public Trust' — a federal suitability determination, not a DoD collateral clearance. The closest available enum value is 'Secret'; however, a Public Trust is technically distinct from a Secret clearance. Hiring managers should note this distinction: the posting gates on Public Trust (Tier 2), not a Secret or higher DoD clearance.
The posting contains a likely typo in the experience requirement: it reads 'minimum of twelve (7) years' — the parenthetical '7' is treated as the operative figure, setting total minimum experience at 7 years.
Salesforce certifications (Platform Developer I and Administrator) are explicitly listed as required in the qualifications section, not merely preferred.
CI/CD and DevOps appear in a 'desirable' / secondary context ('is desirable'; 'experience focusing on') and are marked as preferred accordingly.
Public sector or DoD Salesforce environment experience is listed under the experience section but framed as 'preferred' at the top and as a demonstration requirement elsewhere — the DoD environment experience is treated as a hard gate given the client context and explicit 'candidate must also demonstrate' language; public sector experience alone is preferred.
The #LI-REMOTE hashtag in the posting corroborates the caller's declaration that this is a fully remote role.
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.
