What this job asks for AI summary

A full-stack engineering role building Command and Control (C2) interfaces for defense applications, combining a React/TypeScript frontend with real-time 3D geospatial visualizations and a Go or Node.js backend. The work involves streaming AI inference and sensor data via WebSockets and gRPC, implementing secure authentication and RBAC, and collaborating directly with military operators to refine HCI/UX workflows under time-critical conditions.

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 29, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (8)

The 4+ years figure is the overall full-stack experience floor; the 3+ years for React/TypeScript is a per-skill demand and is captured on those skills.

WebGL and Three.js are listed together as visualization options ('WebGL, Three.js, or map SDKs'); they are treated as interchangeable alternatives for the same visualization requirement. 'Map SDKs' is too generic to emit as a named skill.

Go is the stated preference ('Go (preferred) or Node.js') for backend; Node.js is captured as its alternative.

gRPC appears only in the responsibilities narrative, not in the formal qualifications block, so it is marked preferred.

DoD 8570 IAT Level II (Security+) is explicitly labeled 'preferred' in the posting.

The posting states the candidate 'must be eligible for a U.S. Government Secret Clearance' — this is treated as a hard gate on clearance eligibility, mapped to Secret.

The alternative occupation 15-1254 (Web Developers) is noted as a runner-up given the frontend emphasis, but the full-stack scope, backend API work, and real-time data pipeline work firmly place this in 15-1252 Software Developers.

Requires a 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.
