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). 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 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (8)

The title 'SWE3' is an internal level designation, not a standard seniority label, so advertised seniority is treated as Unspecified.

The role is primarily front-end/UI-focused with full-stack expectations, making it a genuine Software Developer (15-1252) rather than a Web Developer (15-1254); the alt code reflects the UI/front-end emphasis.

An active TS/SCI with Full Scope Polygraph (FSP) is a hard gate — candidates without it cannot be considered.

The degree requirement states a Bachelor's in CS or related field is required, but explicitly allows substitution with 4 additional years of SWE experience — treated as no hard degree gate.

CI/CD pipelines and cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GovCloud) are listed in the required section but qualified with 'is a plus', placing them closer to preferred; they are marked accordingly.

Linux/Ubuntu environment experience is explicitly called 'a plus' within the required section and is marked preferred.

The location is inferred as the Maryland area based on the TS/SCI FSP requirement and the company's stated focus on civil, defense, and intelligence customers in that region; no explicit city is named in the posting.

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.
