What this job asks for AI summary
A senior software engineering role on an agile, DevOps team building and maintaining geolocation data-processing software for a government agency. Day-to-day work spans back-end development in Python, web UI development, CI/CD pipeline work, integration across multiple services, and Tier 3 operational support. The role suits a highly experienced engineer comfortable in classified environments requiring a TS/SCI with full-scope polygraph.

Rare in this occupation — lead with these, and say what you built with them.
Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.
What the occupation pays Median $138,970 (middle half $107,524–$175,762). 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 (10)
No work location or city is specified in the posting; CBSA cannot be determined. The role is on-site (5 days, 8 hours/day) but the site is not disclosed — likely a classified government facility.
The role blends systems engineering (requirements capture, test/validation, artifacts) and software development (back-end, UI, full-stack). The day-to-day emphasis on coding and CI/CD pipeline work tips the classification toward Software Developers (15-1252), with Computer Systems Analysts (15-1211) as a plausible runner-up.
The JD states 14 years of SWE experience is required, which is unusually high but is explicitly listed as the minimum. Despite the large number, the role's scope description (team contributor in an agile DevOps environment) does not indicate org-wide technical authority, so Senior is the appropriate band rather than Staff or Principal.
A Bachelor's degree in CS or a related field is listed as required, but the JD immediately offers a full substitution (4 additional years of SWE experience in lieu of the degree), so the degree requirement is set to None.
The clearance requirement is explicitly stated as TS/SCI with Full Scope Polygraph (FSP), which maps to TopSecretSci.
The compensation range appears twice with a slight discrepancy ($215,000–$238,000 in the 'Salary Range' line vs. $214,000–$238,000 in 'Compensation Details'). The higher floor ($215,000) from the labeled 'Salary Range' field is used.
JavaScript, Java, and HTML are listed together as alternatives for web UI experience ('modern Java, Javascript, and/or HTML'). Java here appears to refer to JavaScript/Java in a front-end context; they are captured as alternatives under a single skill.
ActiveMQ, REST, NoSQL, and Elasticsearch ('elastic databases') are listed together with 'and/or', indicating any combination satisfies the requirement. ActiveMQ and REST are emitted separately as they are distinct technologies; NoSQL is emitted with Elasticsearch as an alternative.
Interactive/dynamic map software experience appears only under Preferred Qualifications.
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.
