How this req sits in the market our data
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 $131,346 (middle half $103,068–$165,276).
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 (8)
TS/SCI clearance is an explicit hard gate; DoD 8140/8570 IAT Level II certification is also required.
Degree requirement: BS in Computer Science or related field, but the posting explicitly states 'experience may be substituted for degree' — treated as no hard degree gate.
The 4-year minimum experience is stated at the role level against DoD/federal environments, not tied to any single technology.
The required frameworks (React, Angular, Spring Boot, FastAPI, Express.js) are listed as a group under 'such as' — they represent interchangeable options satisfying the same framework requirement; React is used as the primary with the others as alternatives.
SonarQube is listed with 'or equivalent' in the requirements section — it is a hard gate on the capability; alternatives would include Checkmarx, Veracode, Fortify.
The preferred section includes several items that overlap with required skills (Kubernetes, Terraform, REST APIs, React/Angular, Spring Boot/FastAPI/Express.js, CI/CD pipelines) but are listed under 'Preferred Experience/Qualifications' — only the net-new preferred items (AWS certifications, OpenShift, database technologies, messaging services) are captured as preferred.
No compensation was stated in the posting.
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.
