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 $138,970 (middle half $107,524–$175,762).
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 (8)
No work location is specified in the posting; the role is with a U.S. government contractor (Scientific Research Corporation / SRC) and requires U.S. citizenship and a Secret clearance, strongly implying a U.S.-based position, but the specific city/metro is not stated.
The posting explicitly states this is a part-time role ('deliver consistent results in a part-time capacity').
A Bachelor's degree in CS or related field is listed, but the posting explicitly accepts 'equivalent professional experience' as a substitute, so no minimum degree is hard-gated.
The Secret clearance is a hard gate per the Clearance Information section: 'this position will require … a U.S. Government Security Clearance at the Secret level.'
React Hooks, Context API, and React Router are listed together under 'Desired Skills' as 'modern React patterns'; React Hooks and React Router are captured as separate preferred skills since they are distinct tools. Context API is a built-in React feature rather than a separately named tool and is omitted.
The alt SOC 15-1254 (Web Developers) was considered given the front-end/UI focus, but the role builds web applications with React, TypeScript, APIs, and build tooling — consistent with application development (15-1252) rather than page/site authoring.
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.
Posting is for a part-time engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
