Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (8)
The role title is 'Software Developer' but the actual day-to-day work is deployment, configuration, administration, and operational support of a SaaS/CMC platform (Strategy CMC on OpenShift/Kubernetes) — closer to systems/platform administration (15-1244) than software development (15-1252). SOC confidence is Medium due to this mismatch.
The posting states the engagement is '~14 months, dependent on project solution completion,' indicating a fixed-term contract rather than permanent full-time employment, despite being described as 'full-time.'
Clearance language states candidates 'must be able to obtain and maintain a government issued clearance, if needed.' Given the LANL/NNSA context (nuclear weapons design lab), a Secret-level clearance is the practical minimum; the posting does not specify the exact level.
US citizenship is a hard requirement due to the federal/NNSA nature of the work.
No compensation figures were published; GEM explicitly states they do not publish salary ranges on external job boards.
The CBSA used is Santa Fe, NM (42140), the closest metro to Los Alamos, NM, which does not have its own CBSA. The role is approved for primarily remote work.
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.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
