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 (9)
The role blends software engineering (designing and migrating hybrid cloud/edge architectures, integrating AI, writing automation) with platform operations (O&M of OpenShift/Kubernetes environments). 15-1252 Software Developers is the primary classification because the JD emphasizes building and migrating solutions; 15-1244 is a plausible runner-up given the explicit O&M duties.
Location is not specified in the posting. The role supports NGA (headquartered in Springfield, VA) and requires a TS/SCI with Polygraph, strongly suggesting the National Capital Region, but no city or CBSA is stated.
The clearance gate is TS/SCI with Polygraph ('TS/SCI with Polygraph' listed as the minimum clearance required to start). The Desired section notes 'Active TS/SCI with CI Poly', implying CI Poly is preferred but the full-scope poly is the hard gate.
A Bachelor's degree in a STEM field is required; however, the JD explicitly states that AWS Cloud Solutions Architect – Professional and Certified Scrum Developer certifications may substitute for the degree with demonstrated experience. Degree requirement is set to Bachelors reflecting the stated minimum; the certification substitution path is noted here.
Red Hat OpenShift is listed in the Responsibilities section (O&M duties) rather than the formal Required qualifications block. It is marked required because the role's primary day-to-day work explicitly centers on operating those environments.
Cameo (architecture modeling tool) appears only in the responsibilities narrative ('architecture tools (Cameo)'), not in the qualifications section, so it is treated as preferred context rather than a hard gate.
This position is contingent upon contract award.
The posted salary range ($98,500–$206,800/year) is described as a national average; actual compensation will vary by location and contract labor categories.
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.
