What this job asks for AI summary

An onsite software engineering role at Ft. Meade, MD supporting a government-focused software development team. Day-to-day work spans building and maintaining APIs, services, data processing workflows, and deployment pipelines, with a particular focus on AI-related tooling — including a testing framework for agentic coding systems, a vulnerability-dataset generation framework, and cross-environment application operations. Suits a full-stack engineer comfortable with Python, React, and containerized deployments who holds an active NSA TS/SCI with Full-Scope Poly clearance.

Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.

What the occupation pays Median $141,954 (middle half $107,994–$205,328).

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 (10)

The role is onsite at Ft. Meade, MD. The CBSA is Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, MD (Ft. Meade falls within that metro).

An active TS/SCI with Full-Scope Polygraph (NSA-held or held within the past two years) is a hard gate — this is a TopSecretSci clearance requirement.

A BS in Computer Science or similar field is listed under Education/Certification Requirements but the JD explicitly accepts 4 years of relevant experience in lieu of the degree, so no minimum degree is flagged.

No overall years-of-experience requirement is stated at the role level; seniority is assessed as Mid based on the scope of the tasking (building and maintaining components, working alongside researchers/data scientists) with no explicit senior-level ownership or leadership signals.

The alt SOC (15-1253) is noted because a significant portion of the tasking involves building and maintaining a testing/benchmarking framework (Agentic Coding Harness Testing Framework, Fuzzy blocks), but the primary day-to-day work is software development across the full stack.

Cloud platforms appear only in the 'Technologies / Skills Needed' narrative stack list and not in the Requirements section, so they are marked preferred.

LLMs/AI agent work is implied by the agentic coding harness and AI architecture tasking but no specific AI/ML framework is named as a requirement.

No compensation range is provided in the posting.

Employment type is not stated; this appears to be a staffing/placement role via Precision Solutions but the engagement type (full-time, contract) is not specified.

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.
