What this job asks for AI summary
A mid-level software developer role building web-based geospatial intelligence applications for a U.S. government agency. Day-to-day work spans the full stack — writing Java and/or Python code, designing and integrating RESTful APIs, working with GIS-enabled services, and managing relational and non-relational databases — all within Agile sprint cycles. Suits developers with 4+ years of experience who hold or can obtain a TS/SCI clearance with polygraph.

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 $158,337 (middle half $126,441–$180,105). 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 (8)
The posting states 'Bachelor's degree … or equivalent experience accepted', so no formal degree is hard-gated.
Java and Python are listed as interchangeable ('Java and/or Python') in both the responsibilities and qualifications; they are captured as a single mutual-alternative pair rather than two separate hard gates.
The TS/SCI clearance is a hard gate to START; the polygraph is listed as a willingness requirement ('willingness to undergo'), not a pre-existing gate — but the overall clearance level is treated as TopSecretSci per the posting's own 'TS/SCI with Polygraph' minimum clearance label.
GIS technologies (ArcGIS, GeoServer, OpenLayers, Cesium) appear under 'Desired' and are preferred; ArcGIS is used as the primary name with the others as alternatives.
Containerization/cloud/DevSecOps tooling appears under 'Desired' with no specific product named; Docker and Kubernetes are listed as the most common substitutes for the containerization signal.
The salary range ($63,300–$129,700/year) is described as a national average across multiple possible locations; the NGA mission strongly implies the Springfield/St. Louis, VA area, but the CBSA is set to the Washington DC metro as the most likely primary work location for NGA-supporting roles.
Travel is up to 10% within the continental US.
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.
