Why we read it this way (11)
The title 'Forensic Toolkit Lead Developer' carries no standard seniority level word, so the title states no level; however, the scope (leading architecture, setting strategic direction, leading multidisciplinary teams) clearly supports a Senior classification.
An active TS clearance with SCI eligibility is an explicit hard gate in the Qualifications section.
No total years of experience are stated anywhere in the posting.
Cloud deployment is required ('extensive experience delivering forensic software deployed in the commercial cloud') but no specific cloud platform (AWS, Azure, GCP) is named.
Thin client front-end technologies are required but no specific framework is named.
Relevant certifications (technical architecture, software development, or forensics) are listed as 'preferred' at the end of the posting.
The alt SOC 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is noted because digital forensics tool development is a specialized niche that sits between general software development and security analysis; 15-1252 is the better fit given the primary day-to-day work is building and architecting software.
No compensation information is provided in the posting.
Role is on-site in Clarksburg, WV — not remote.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): thin client front-end.
