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.

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 (10)
The role is titled 'Software Application Developer' with no explicit seniority level in the title; advertised seniority is Unspecified. However, the 9-year experience requirement and the scope of work (mission planning tools, full-stack GUI/API development for the Marine Corps) support a Senior classification.
The degree requirement is effectively None: the JD accepts 4 years of experience in lieu of a Bachelor's degree.
The TS/SCI clearance is a hard gate on day one of employment; the ability to obtain a polygraph is also required but is framed as a future step rather than a day-one gate.
Security+ certification is required but must only be obtained within 6 months of hire — it is not a pre-employment gate.
Vue, React, and Angular are listed as interchangeable options under the required qualifications ('Vue, React or Angular'); Vue is used as the primary with React and Angular as alternatives.
Docker appears only under Desired Skills despite the job duties narrative mentioning Docker containers — it is listed as preferred in the qualifications section.
STOMP WebSocket and Data Validation Frameworks are listed as separate desired items; WebSocket is captured as the canonical skill name for STOMP WebSocket.
The alt SOC 15-1254 (Web Developers) is noted because the role explicitly mentions GUI/web page design and frontend frameworks, but the broader application development scope (API integration, containerized services, mission planning tools) makes 15-1252 the stronger fit.
The role is primarily on-site in North Charleston, SC with 1 telework day per week; it is not fully remote.
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.
