How this req sits in the market our data
Rare in this occupation — lead with these, and say what you built with them.
What the occupation pays Median $138,970 (middle half $107,524–$175,762).
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 (6)
Significant mismatch between advertised level ('mid level') and actual requirements: 14 years of experience is well above the Senior threshold, making this a Senior-level role by scope and experience despite the title.
A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field is formally required, but the JD offers a substitution path: 4 years of additional SWE experience on similar projects may replace the degree.
The TS/SCI clearance requirement includes a favorable Polygraph, which is a particularly high bar — candidates must already hold this clearance (not merely be eligible to obtain one).
No work location or metro area is specified in the posting. Given the TS/SCI + Poly requirement and the Accumulo/Hadoop stack, this is likely a government/intelligence community role, but no city or state is stated.
Direct hires only — third-party staffing and recruiting firms are explicitly excluded.
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.
