How this req sits in the market our data
What the occupation pays Median $129,394 (middle half $101,208–$143,252).
Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Aug 12, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (7)
C# is the primary required language; Java is explicitly listed as a potential substitute — both are captured under a single skill with Java as an alternative.
The posting requires a Bachelor's or Master's degree, or an equivalent combination of education and work experience. Because a degree equivalent is accepted, the degree requirement is set to Bachelors (the minimum formal degree named), but candidates with equivalent experience may also qualify.
The role requires the ability to OBTAIN a Secret clearance (US citizenship required), not an active clearance at time of hire.
Object-oriented design/development and software testing principles are listed as requirements but name no specific tool or framework, so they are omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
SOLID principles and design patterns appear under Preferred Additional Skills and are methodology concepts rather than named tools, so they are omitted from the skills list.
The 9/80 schedule (every other Friday off) is noted in the posting for candidate awareness.
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.
