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 7, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (7)
The posting lists Fortran, C, and C++ as a group with 'and/or' — proficiency in at least one is required, but the JD does not gate on all three simultaneously. They are captured as separate skills with each listed as an alternative to the others to reflect this.
Similarly, Bash and Korn shell scripting are listed together; Bash is the primary skill with Korn shell as an alternative.
The TS/SCI with CI Polygraph is explicitly stated as required to start — this is a hard gate.
Preferred skills include experience in classified/government lab R&D environments and familiarity with additional HPC scripting or workflow automation tools; these are not captured as named concrete technologies and are therefore omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
No compensation or years-of-experience figure is stated in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): configuration management.
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.
