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

What the occupation pays Median $111,377 (middle half $86,511–$164,827).

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 role requires an active TS/SCI clearance with a Full Scope Polygraph — this is a hard gate explicitly stated in the title and opening line.

The posting is primarily hybrid (Annapolis Junction, MD onsite with 1 remote day per week), so remote=false is appropriate.

Java and JavaScript are presented as interchangeable options ('Java or JavaScript frameworks') under the required section; Java is listed as the primary with JavaScript as an alternative.

The AI/ML skill appears only under 'Desired Experience' and covers both AI-driven solution coordination and staying current with ML advancements — treated as preferred.

No total years of experience or degree requirement are stated anywhere in the posting.

The role blends systems engineering, business/requirements analysis, and liaison work; 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is the best fit given the emphasis on requirements elicitation, workflow/business process engineering, and bridging customers with development teams. 15-1299 is noted as a runner-up given the 'Systems Engineer' title.

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.
