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 (7)
A current/active TS/SCI clearance with polygraph is explicitly required — candidates without one cannot be considered.
14 years of Software Engineering experience is required. The posting allows 5+ additional years of SWE experience to substitute for the Bachelor's degree, so the degree requirement is set to None.
The role is on-site at Annapolis Junction, MD, which falls within the Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, MD CBSA.
IntelliJ and Eclipse are listed together as IDE options under Required Skills — treated as interchangeable alternatives for the same requirement.
Kotlin, Spring/Spring Boot, Kubernetes, Java, and REST all appear under the 'Desired Skills' section and are marked preferred accordingly.
The title carries no explicit seniority level; however, 14 years of required experience and the scope of work (malware containment enclave, enrichment services modernization) firmly support a Senior classification.
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.
