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 (9)

The role is on-site in Chantilly, VA and Northern VA field offices; the posting explicitly states remote work is not supported.

The minimum experience requirement is stated as 8 years with a Bachelor's, 7 with a Master's, or 6 with a Doctorate — 8 years is used as the overall years minimum (the lowest threshold for the required Bachelor's degree path).

The degree requirement is a hard gate (Bachelor's in CS or related field required); a Master's or Doctorate reduces the experience threshold but does not replace the degree requirement, so Bachelor's is set as the minimum.

C2S (Commercial Cloud Services) is the Intelligence Community's AWS-equivalent environment; Lambda, SNS, and SQS are listed as specific required service integrations within that environment and are captured as individual skills.

The 'Nice to Have' section lists reverse-engineering tools (IDA Pro, Ghidra, JADX, APKtool) as interchangeable alternatives — captured as a single preferred skill with alternatives.

Experience with additional programming languages beyond Python is listed under 'Nice to Have' but names no specific language, so it is omitted per policy (no named technology).

The pay range of $150,000–$250,000 is stated as a Virginia-specific range.

Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Systems Administration.

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.
