What this job asks for AI summary
Software Solution Engineers here handle the full development lifecycle — design, coding, testing, and deployment — of software systems supporting FAA air traffic and surveillance programs. Work spans cloud-hosted applications, database integration, and Agile/SAFe delivery, with particular attention to user experience and accessibility. The role suits engineers with backgrounds in Python, Java, JavaScript, or similar languages who are comfortable working within a federal government context and can clear an FAA background investigation.

Why we read it this way (10)
This posting covers three labor categories simultaneously — Junior (2+ years), Mid (10+ years), and Senior (15+ years) — with separate compensation bands for each. The overall posted salary range ($58,680–$218,475/yr) spans all three tiers. The experience floor used here (15 years) reflects the Senior-level requirement, which is the highest tier advertised.
The title carries no seniority modifier ('Software Solution Engineers'), so advertised seniority is Unspecified; the actual requirements support Senior given the 15-year maximum gate.
A bachelor's degree is listed as the baseline educational requirement but the JD explicitly allows substitution with 5 years of relevant experience, so no hard degree gate is set.
The FAA background investigation/suitability determination is a hard gate but is not a US government security clearance in the traditional sense (no clearance level assigned); clearance is therefore set to None.
Primary on-site locations listed are Washington D.C., Egg Harbor NJ, and Oklahoma City OK; the posting notes some roles may allow remote/hybrid but this is not guaranteed, so remote is set to false.
Python, Java, C#, and JavaScript are listed together as a group of required programming languages; Python is used as the primary with the others captured as alternatives since the JD treats them as a set rather than requiring all four independently.
Cloud platforms (AWS, Azure) appear in the required qualifications as 'knowledge of modern cloud and database solutions'; AWS is used as primary with Azure and GCP as alternatives.
Database technologies (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Oracle) appear in the responsibilities/context section rather than a firm required-qualifications gate, so they are marked preferred with PostgreSQL as primary and the others as alternatives.
Desired Qualifications (FAA experience, certifications such as CSP, AWS/Azure architect certs, CISSP, current FAA suitability) are explicitly labeled as desired/preferred and are marked accordingly.
The role blends software development with systems analysis and requirements work, making 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) a plausible runner-up given the emphasis on feasibility analysis, requirements development, and systems analysis responsibilities.
