What this job asks for AI summary
These are full-stack software engineering roles supporting DoD and Intelligence Community programs in the Maryland/Fort Meade area, requiring an active TS/SCI clearance with polygraph. Day-to-day work spans building, maintaining, and testing complex software systems — including analytics pipelines, large-scale data processing, algorithm development, and database design — across a broad range of languages and frameworks. Openings exist at multiple experience levels, from entry-level through principal.
Mid level · Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV · TS/SCI clearance · Full-time
Advertised as Junior, but the requirements read as Mid.
“or” means any one of them counts — you don't need all of them.

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 $158,337 (middle half $126,441–$180,105).
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 (6)
This is a multi-level, evergreen posting covering Junior (Level 1: 0–7 yrs), Mid (Level 2: 7–14 yrs), and Principal (Level 3: 20+ yrs) roles simultaneously. Seniority is assessed as Mid as the central/representative band for pool-sizing purposes.
Advertised seniority is set to Junior because the title line lists 'Junior' first; however, the posting spans all levels up to Principal.
A bachelor's degree in CS or a related field is listed as a baseline requirement for all levels, but the posting explicitly states that 4 additional years of experience may be substituted in lieu of a degree on some contracts — treated as equivalent experience accepted, so the degree requirement is None.
The technology stack (Java, JavaScript, C/C++, Python, Angular, Docker, Kubernetes, Linux/UNIX, MongoDB, Express, React, Node, GoLang, Vue.js, REST/SOAP, Spring/Hibernate, J2EE, HBase/Accumulo/BigTable) is presented under 'Depending upon the individual position, our roles include the use of technologies such as' — i.e., a contextual stack list, not a hard gate. All are marked preferred. Java is called out in the tasking narrative as a primary high-level language ('such as Java, C, C++'), giving it slightly stronger signal, but it remains in the same contextual framing.
TS/SCI with an appropriate agency polygraph is explicitly required — a hard gate for all positions.
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.
