Why we read it this way (7)
The role is customer on-site (embedded at a government/military customer site in Hawaii), so remote=false. The pay range is explicitly labeled 'Hawaii Pay Range', confirming the location.
Clearance language says 'Active or eligible for a security clearance, as required by contract' — this gates on the ability to obtain a clearance but does not specify the level. Given the military/national security context and GovCloud references, Secret is the most likely minimum; TS/SCI is possible but not stated. Flagged as Secret as a conservative read.
The role blends applied AI engineering (configuring/coding agent behaviors, deployment engineering) with customer-facing analytical work (wargaming analysis, translating customer needs). 15-1252 Software Developers was chosen as primary because the JD explicitly calls for coding, containerization, CI/CD, and deployment engineering; 15-2051 Data Scientists is the runner-up given the heavy AI/ML and analytical framing.
No overall years-of-experience floor is stated in the required section. The '5+ years' figure appears only under 'Nice to Have', so it is not set as the overall years minimum.
A graduate-level degree is listed as preferred, not required; the hard gate is a Bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field.
Domain-specific languages (DSLs) appear in both the required section (reading/writing a specialized configuration grammar) and the nice-to-have section. The required mention is framed as a capability rather than a named tool, so it is captured as a preferred skill reflecting the more concrete nice-to-have framing; the underlying capability is already implicit in the agent-based simulation requirement.
Requires a Secret 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.
