Why we read it this way (8)
Location is not stated in the posting. Given the NSA Full Scope Polygraph requirement, the role is almost certainly in the Fort Meade/Annapolis Junction, MD area (Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, MD CBSA), but this is not confirmed in the text.
The clearance gate is unusually strict: an active TS/SCI with NSA Full Scope Polygraph is explicitly required — not merely the ability to obtain one.
The degree requirement allows a Master's + 4 years as an alternative to a Bachelor's + 6 years; Bachelor's is set as the minimum formal degree since equivalent experience is not offered as a substitute.
Manual and automated testing, requirements analysis, test case development, and test results documentation are listed as required qualifications but are methodological competencies rather than named tools; they are included because the posting explicitly gates on them.
All Atlassian tools (Jira, Confluence, TestRay/SynapseRT), Linux, and all automation frameworks (Playwright, Selenium, Cucumber, Gherkin, JMeter, Swagger) appear under 'Desired Qualifications' and are marked preferred accordingly.
Salary is described as experience-dependent with no figures given; the posting notes this is an exempt hourly position.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): test case development, test results documentation.
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.
