Why we read it this way (8)
The posting requires a Public Trust clearance or willingness to obtain one — this is not a hard gate on currently holding a clearance, so the clearance requirement is set to None.
The JD states two overlapping experience requirements: '6+ years as a full stack software engineer' (tied to the named stack) and '8+ years in one or more technical disciplines.' The higher figure (8) is used as the overall years minimum since it represents the broader role-level gate; the 6-year figure is captured on the Java skill as the years demanded.
The degree requirement ('Computer Science degree or Bachelor's Degree in a related major') is listed under a required section and treated as a hard gate. A Master's degree is listed under 'Desired (pluses)' and is not required.
webpack, npm, and Storybook are listed together as examples of build tools under a 'Familiarity with' qualifier within the Required Skills section. They are treated as a single interchangeable requirement with alternatives, since the JD uses 'such as' framing.
GitHub is listed under 'Familiarity with code version tools such as GitHub' in the Required Skills section — the 'familiarity with' phrasing is a softener on the specific tool, but the capability is required; GitHub is the only named tool so no alternatives are listed.
CMS experience appears under Desired Skills with no specific CMS platform named, so it is omitted as it names no concrete technology.
The salary range of $120,000–$140,000 is stated as specific to Maryland. The CBSA is inferred as Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, MD, the primary Maryland metro; the role could also be in the Washington, DC metro given the government-focused work, but Maryland is the only location stated.
Wildfly and ORM appear in the required stack description but are framed as examples within a broader list ('technologies/frameworks such as…'). They are omitted as the 'such as' framing makes them illustrative rather than individually gated.
