What this job asks for AI summary
A full-stack Java software engineering role on a Space Mission Systems team, focused on building and maintaining Mission Management and Mission Planning software. The work spans the full development lifecycle — design, coding, testing, and ongoing support — within an agile environment, and involves CI/CD pipelines, systems integration, and middleware technologies. An active Top Secret/SCI clearance is required, and the role is fully on-site.

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 (7)
The posting covers two levels simultaneously: Experienced (Level 3, $135,150–$182,850/yr) and Lead (Level 4, $171,700–$232,300/yr). The seniority band is assessed at the minimum gate (3+ years, Level 3 = Mid); the Lead level would map to Senior.
Primary work location is Chantilly, VA; Seal Beach, CA is listed as an alternative. The CBSA reflects the Chantilly/Northern Virginia location (Washington-Arlington-Alexandria metro). Candidates should note the role is 100% onsite with no remote option.
The Basic Qualifications gate on object-oriented programming in Java, C++, or Python — these are listed as interchangeable options for the same requirement, so C++ and Python are captured as alternatives to Java.
DevSecOps is named in the Basic Qualifications alongside CI/CD; it is treated as context for the CI/CD requirement rather than a separately named tool, so it is not emitted as a standalone skill.
All front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, OpenLayers), middleware (JMS, WebLogic), data systems (SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, MongoDB), and build/dependency tools (Maven, Gradle, Ivy, Git, Jenkins, GitLab CI) appear exclusively under Preferred Qualifications.
A technical coding assessment (CodeVue) is required as part of the selection process — this is not a skill but is a notable process gate for applicants.
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.
