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 Aug 6, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (6)

The TS/SCI clearance with full-scope polygraph (FS/Poly) is an absolute hard gate — the posting states 'no exceptions.'

The degree requirement is listed as a bachelor's in CS or related field 'or equivalent experience,' so no formal degree is strictly required.

Oracle, MySQL, and Postgres are presented as interchangeable options under the relational database requirement; Oracle is listed first.

The pay range ($130,000–$225,000) is labeled as the Virginia range; actual compensation may vary by location per the posting's own caveat.

Spring Boot and Spring Framework appear together under 'Nice to Have' and are captured as separate skills since they are distinct tools used alongside each other.

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.
