Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.

What the occupation pays Median $106,532 (middle half $79,051–$140,646).

Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Aug 5, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (7)

Java, Python, and C++ are listed together as interchangeable primary language options ('Java, Python, C++, or similar'); all three are captured as required with each other as alternatives.

The ArcGIS extensions (3-D Analyst, Geostatistical Analyst, Network Analyst, Spatial Analyst, Tracking Analyst) are sub-components of the ArcGIS suite listed under required GIS experience; they are consolidated under the ArcGIS skill rather than emitted as separate entries, as they are features of the same platform rather than distinct tools.

Cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), Docker, Kubernetes, and machine learning/AI concepts appear under 'Desired Skills and Competencies' and are marked as preferred accordingly.

Stennis Space Center is located in Hancock County, MS, which falls within the Gulfport-Biloxi, MS CBSA (25060).

The posting states 'Secret security clearance or the ability to obtain one' — candidates who do not yet hold a clearance may still apply, but the role gates on the ability to obtain one.

No compensation figures are provided beyond 'competitive compensation'; pay type is listed as Salary.

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.
