How this req sits in the market our data
Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.
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 Aug 5, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (6)
The posting requires an active Top Secret clearance to start and explicitly states candidates must be eligible for a CI Polygraph — the clearance gate is TS (with CI Poly eligibility required), not TS/SCI, so TopSecret is used here rather than TopSecretSci.
No work location or metro area is specified in the posting; the CBSA is left blank. Given the NGA customer, the role is likely in the Washington DC / Springfield VA area, but this is not stated and has not been assumed.
The role title is 'DevOps Software Engineer' but the required skills emphasize writing application code (OOP/Java/C#, multi-tiered/microservice apps) alongside DevOps tooling — the primary work is software development, making 15-1252 the best fit, with 15-1244 as a plausible alternative given the infrastructure/operations emphasis.
Docker and Kubernetes both appear in the required containerization bullet; Docker is listed as the primary skill with Kubernetes as an alternative since the JD frames them as interchangeable options in that requirement. Kubernetes also appears separately under Preferred for distribution deployment experience, captured as a standalone preferred skill.
No compensation, employment type, or minimum years of experience are stated in the posting.
Requires a Top Secret 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.
