What this job asks for AI summary
A front-end developer role on a government intelligence platform, building and maintaining web-based capabilities that help analysts aggregate and act on data from multiple intelligence sources. Day-to-day work spans the full application lifecycle — design, implementation, integration, and deployment — using modern JavaScript frameworks, REST APIs, and WebSockets on AWS and edge environments. Suits a cleared engineer with at least three years of front-end experience and comfort in agile teams; a TS/SCI clearance with polygraph is required.

How this req sits in the market our data
Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.
What the occupation pays Median $140,636 (middle half $126,359–$175,118). 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 (6)
The clearance situation is nuanced: the Required section states 'Hold a current TS/SCI clearance and a polygraph preferred,' which reads as TS/SCI being a hard gate and the polygraph being preferred. However, the posting's structured metadata field ('Minimum Clearance Required to Start') explicitly states 'TS/SCI with Polygraph.' The formal metadata field is treated as authoritative for the clearance gate, so TopSecretSci (TS/SCI with polygraph) is set as required.
The role is classified as Software Developers (15-1252) rather than Web Developers (15-1254) because the posting describes building a complex, mission-critical intelligence analysis platform deployed on AWS — an application, not a website or CMS. The front-end framing and web technology stack are noted as the runner-up signal.
The JavaScript framework requirement lists Angular, Svelte, Vue, Bootstrap, Tailwind, SASS, NPM, and Node as examples of acceptable options ('e.g. … etc.'). Angular is used as the primary named option with the others captured as alternatives. NPM and Node are emitted as a separate skill given they are runtime/toolchain tools rather than UI frameworks.
Seniority is assessed as Mid: the minimum experience gate is 3 years and the title carries no level modifier. The wide salary band ($76K–$155K) reflects CACI's broad internal leveling rather than a senior-level scope signal.
Agile methodology familiarity appears in the Required section but names no specific tool or platform, so it is omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
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.
