How this req sits in the market our data

What the occupation pays Median $158,337 (middle half $126,441–$180,105). 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 (6)
An active or reinstateable TS/SCI with Polygraph is an explicit hard gate — the posting opens with a bolded warning not to apply without it.
The 14+ years experience requirement is stated alongside a BS degree in Computer Science or related; however, the JD explicitly allows 4 additional years of SWE experience to substitute for the bachelor's degree, so the degree requirement is set to None.
The 'Key Skills' section lists Git/GitLab, web application development, and Docker with Kubernetes or Docker Compose as the named required skills. React, Java, Go, REST, MongoDB, OpenSearch, and CI/CD appear only in the role description narrative ('this team builds…'), so they are treated as stack context rather than hard gates.
The role is located in Annapolis Junction, MD (part of the Washington DC metro CBSA). Partial telework (16 hrs/week) is offered but only after an acclimation period and can be removed at any time — the role is not fully remote.
Kubernetes and Docker Compose are presented as interchangeable orchestration options ('Kubernetes or Docker-compose'), so they are captured as a single skill with alternatives.
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.
