Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.

What the occupation pays Median $141,954 (middle half $107,994–$205,328). This posting is about at that midpoint.

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 (7)

The posting names no specific programming languages, frameworks, or platforms — the skills list is unusually sparse as a result. Only the concrete technologies explicitly mentioned (APIs, databases, Agile/DevSecOps methodologies) have been captured.

Agile and DevSecOps/DevOps are listed under 'highly desirable' and 'a plus' language, so they are marked preferred rather than required.

The degree requirement is a Bachelor's in a STEM field, listed in the Qualifications section with no 'or equivalent experience' escape clause — treated as a hard requirement.

Aberdeen Proving Ground is located within the Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, MD CBSA (12580).

The posting's title carries no seniority modifier; however, the 3+ years requirement and scope of responsibilities align with a Mid-level role.

The HUBZone residency note is a logistical/eligibility consideration for the employer's certification, not a technical skill — omitted from skills.

Requires a TS/SCI 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.
