Why we read it this way (7)
The role is genuinely hybrid between low-code/no-code Power Platform development and broader software/data engineering; alt SOC 15-2031 (Operations Research Analysts) reflects the data transformation and process automation emphasis, though 15-1252 better fits the overall build-and-ship framing.
The posting lists three preferred office locations — Houston TX, Philadelphia PA, and New York NY — but no single primary location is designated; Houston is used as the representative CBSA. Candidates in any of those three metros are preferred.
US citizenship is explicitly required due to Federal client work; this is not a formal security clearance gate but is a hard eligibility requirement not captured in the clearance field.
The JD states 'BA/BS + 6 years of experience or demonstrated equivalency of experience and/or education.' Because equivalent experience is explicitly accepted in lieu of the degree, the degree requirement is set to None — however, the posting does name specific degree fields (Information Science, Data Analytics, Computer Science) as the target.
Power Portals is now branded as Power Pages; listed under the required Power Platform stack.
Canvas Power Apps and Model-Driven Power Apps are both called out in the narrative but are sub-types of Power Apps, captured as a single skill.
The preferred qualifications section lists 'Web Development' as a general concept (omitted per rules) alongside specific named technologies (SharePoint, JavaScript, SQL, Azure, Python, C#, HTML5, Node.js, React, ArcGIS), all of which are captured as preferred.
