What the occupation pays Median $142,568 (middle half $111,775–$173,013). This posting is about at that midpoint.
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 role is classified as 15-1243 (Database Architects) because its primary focus is ontology/data modeling (designing 'Objects' and their relationships) and Medallion Lakehouse architecture, alongside pipeline building. 15-1252 (Software Developers) is a credible alternative given the emphasis on writing Python/PySpark ETL code.
Experience range is stated as '5–8 years'; the overall years minimum is set to 5 (the minimum of the range).
Active DoD Secret clearance is an explicit hard gate — the posting states it is required and that only applicants with clearances or clearance-eligibility will be considered.
Location is open to remote; Crystal City VA and Aberdeen MD are preferred client sites. The CBSA reflects the DC metro area as the primary anchor.
IPPS-A, GCSS-Army, and GFEBS are listed under 'Bonus' and are therefore preferred, not required.
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.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
