How this req sits in the market our data
Rare in this occupation — lead with these, and say what you built with them.
What the occupation pays Median $141,954 (middle half $107,994–$205,328). 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)
Experience requirement scales with degree: 8 years with BS/BA, 6 years with MS/MA, 3 years with PhD. The 8-year BS figure is used as the overall years minimum. Four additional years of experience may substitute for a bachelor's degree entirely, so the degree requirement is set to None.
The posting lists one active certification as required, with four acceptable options: Security+, CASP+, Kubernetes CKA, or AWS Developer Associate. These are captured as a single required skill with alternatives.
C# and Java are listed as interchangeable ('C# or Java'); Python and PHP are similarly interchangeable ('Python or PHP') — each pair is captured as one skill with an alternative.
AngularJS/Angular, Apache HTTPD, PostgreSQL, Azure, Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, and SQL/NoSQL appear in the responsibilities/stack narrative rather than in a formal required-qualifications block, so they are marked preferred.
The role is on-site in Linthicum, MD (Baltimore metro area); no remote option is indicated.
An active SECRET clearance is explicitly 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.
