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 (7)

The title 'Full-stack Developer' carries no explicit seniority level, so advertised seniority is Unspecified; however, the role is slotted into a 'Senior Labor Category' internally and requires a minimum of 8 years (with a Bachelor's), supporting a Senior classification.

The degree requirement is tiered (8 yrs + BS / 7 yrs + MS / 6 yrs + PhD), meaning equivalent experience can substitute for a higher degree — no single degree is a hard gate, so the degree requirement is set to None.

TS/SCI with Polygraph is explicitly required ('TS/SCI with Poly' in the header and 'full cleared professional' in the body).

CDKTF and Terraform are listed together as 'CDKTF/terraform' under a single DevOps requirement; both are emitted as separate required skills since they are distinct tools used together rather than interchangeable alternatives.

Docker, AWS, and Git appear under 'Desired Qualifications' and are marked as preferred accordingly.

The role is onsite in McLean, VA; no remote option is indicated.

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.
