Why we read it this way (6)
The role is classified as Software Developers (15-1252) rather than Web Developers (15-1254) because it spans a full application stack — TypeScript, Lambda architecture, GraphQL, CloudFormation, CI/CD, and database work — well beyond page/site building. However, the strong CMS (Drupal 11) and frontend accessibility emphasis makes 15-1254 a plausible runner-up.
Drupal 11 migration expertise and GraphQL schema modeling are called out with 'specifically' in the requirements section, signaling they are hard gates despite being somewhat niche.
SAST and DAST are listed together as a single scanning/remediation requirement; DAST is captured as an alternative since the posting treats them as a paired capability.
The compensation is quoted at three fixed tier points ($150,235.80 / $159,691.20 / $169,146.60); the min and max reflect the lowest and highest tiers. The posting explicitly states these figures are non-negotiable.
A Public Trust background check is required for project work, but this is not a formal US security clearance level — it does not gate on Confidential, Secret, or TS/SCI.
The role is open only to residents of a specific list of US states; it is remote but geographically restricted, so no single CBSA applies.
