What this job asks for AI summary
A software engineering role supporting a government program, focused on designing, developing, and maintaining object-oriented applications across the full development lifecycle — from requirements analysis through deployment. The position suits a cleared engineer comfortable working in a mission-critical environment; an active TS/SCI clearance with an adjudicated CI Polygraph is a hard requirement before starting.
Mid level · TS/SCI clearance
“or” means any one of them counts — you don't need all of them.

How this req sits in the market our data
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 8, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (4)
The OOP language requirement lists C#, Java, or C++ as interchangeable options; C# is used as the primary name with Java and C++ captured as alternatives.
A customer-approved security certification (Security+, SSCP, CISSP, or CASP) is listed under Qualifications alongside the clearance requirement. Because it is a named certification rather than a concrete technology or tool, it is not captured as a skill — but hiring managers should note it is presented as a hard gate.
No overall years-of-experience requirement is stated, and no compensation figures are provided.
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.
