What this job asks for AI summary
A DoD-focused software and infrastructure developer role at a small veteran-owned firm in the Baltimore/Columbia, MD area. The position centers on building automation scripts and tools, managing Linux and Kubernetes environments, and developing Ansible playbooks to support CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure lifecycle management. It suits an engineer comfortable working across both the software and physical infrastructure stack in a cleared, on-site environment.

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 $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 Aug 20, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (7)
Python and PowerShell are listed as an 'and/or' pair in both the title framing and qualifications — one or the other satisfies the requirement; both are captured under a single skill with PowerShell as the alternative.
Kubernetes is listed in the qualifications as a hard requirement; Ansible is explicitly called 'a bonus' in the same sentence, so it is marked preferred.
Dell hardware experience is listed as preferred ('preferably Dell hardware') within an otherwise required bullet, so it is marked preferred.
TS/SCI with polygraph is listed as the first qualification line and is treated as a hard gate for this role.
Prior CNO (Computer Network Operations) experience is noted as 'desired' — it is a soft-skills/domain concept rather than a named technology, so it is not emitted as a skill.
The role blends software development (scripting, automation tooling, CI/CD) with infrastructure administration (Linux, Kubernetes, physical servers), making the SOC classification genuinely ambiguous; 15-1252 is chosen because the posting leads with 'Software Developer' and emphasizes developing scripts and tools, but 15-1244 is a credible alternative given the heavy infrastructure operations content.
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.
