How this req sits in the market our data
Rare in this occupation — lead with these, and say what you built with them.
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). 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 Aug 20, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (8)
The posting requires an active SECRET clearance with the ability to obtain TS/SCI — the hard gate is Secret; TS/SCI is a desired upgrade, not a current requirement.
DHS Suitability is also listed as a pre-employment requirement, which is specific to DHS-supporting contracts and may further narrow the eligible candidate pool.
The title 'Applications Developer II' implies a mid-level band ('II'), consistent with the 2+ years experience floor.
Education requirement accepts either a BS in a relevant field OR a high school diploma with 4–6+ years of experience — no degree is strictly required, so the degree requirement is set to None.
The posting lists 'Redshift' under containerization experience, which appears to be a typo for 'Red Hat OpenShift' (OpenShift is also named elsewhere); Amazon Redshift is a data warehouse product unrelated to containers. It has been interpreted as OpenShift and not emitted as a separate skill.
The 'Desired Skills' section lists two-or-more-of items as a single bundled preference; all named technologies have been captured individually as preferred skills.
CSSLP and Security+ certifications are listed as desired, not required — they are not emitted as skills since they are certifications rather than concrete technologies.
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.
