How this req sits in the market our data
Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.
What the occupation pays Median $137,274 (middle half $105,061–$170,815). 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 29, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (6)
The role has two listed work locations — Annapolis Junction, MD and Honolulu, HI. The CBSA is reported as Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, MD (covering Annapolis Junction); the Honolulu, HI metro (CBSA 26180) is an equally valid primary location.
Experience requirements are tiered by degree: 12 years with a BS/BA, 10 years with an MS/MA, 7 years with a Ph.D., 16 years with a high school diploma, or 14 years with an Associate's degree. The minimum across all paths (7 years with a Ph.D.) is lower than the 12-year floor for a BS, so the overall years minimum is set to 12 as the most common baseline.
TS/SCI is listed as 'active or the ability to obtain' — it is a hard gate on the role.
All preferred skills appear under an explicit 'Preferred' heading and are marked accordingly. The open-source software stack lists Java, Linux, Ruby, and Python as interchangeable options; the Windows stack lists .NET, C#, and C++ similarly — each is captured separately with alternatives.
The posting spells 'Acumulo' but the well-known Apache technology is 'Accumulo'; the canonical spelling is used.
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.
