Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.

What the occupation pays Median $158,337 (middle half $126,441–$180,105).

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 (9)

Active TS/SCI in DISS is a hard gate — candidates must already hold the clearance, not merely be eligible.

The role is 100% on-site in Dahlgren, VA. The nearest major CBSA is Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV; Dahlgren is a Naval Support Facility in King George County, VA, which falls within that metro's commuter orbit.

OOP language requirement (Python, Go, C#, or Java) is a single hard gate with interchangeable options; Python is listed as primary with the others as alternatives.

Containerization is required ('Experience with application containerization'), but specific tools (Docker, Kubernetes, Rancher) are listed under 'Skills and Proficiencies' without explicit required/preferred framing. Docker is treated as the primary required tool; Kubernetes and Rancher appear again under a preferred callout.

The degree section states a Bachelor's or Master's is 'accepted' but also explicitly allows 'equivalent years of experience or relevant certifications in lieu of a degree' — the degree requirement is therefore None.

The 'Skills and Proficiencies' section is a narrative stack list without a hard-gate heading; technologies listed there (JavaScript, SQL, .NET, AngularJS, React, etc.) are treated as preferred unless they overlap with the explicit Minimum Requirements.

Containerization tools (Kubernetes, Rancher), database technologies, JavaScript libraries/frameworks, cloud platforms, and AI/ML/LLMs are explicitly marked 'preferred' in the posting.

No compensation figures are provided in the posting.

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.
