How this req sits in the market our data

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 (6)
The title says 'AI/ML Software Developer' but the actual requirements are squarely software development (JavaScript/Java/Python, OOP, data structures) with no ML modeling, statistics, or data science skills gated. The AI/ML framing appears to be about building AI-powered applications rather than doing ML research or modeling, so 15-1252 Software Developers is the primary classification, with 15-2051 Data Scientists as a runner-up given the title.
The experience requirement is stated as '3 to 5 years'; the overall years minimum is set to 3 (the minimum of the range).
JavaScript, Java, and Python are presented as interchangeable options ('JavaScript, Java, or other object-oriented programming language(s)'); they are captured as a single requirement with alternatives.
LLM proficiency ('leveraging modern LLM tools to accelerate development workflows') is listed in the Requirements section and treated as a hard gate.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
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.
