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 5, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (7)
The title 'SWE L2/3' maps to a Mid-level band; the very wide salary range ($70K–$190K) reflects the posting's own note that it covers multiple labor categories and experience levels.
A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field is listed as required, but the posting explicitly allows substitution with 4 years of additional software engineering experience — treated as no hard degree gate.
TS/SCI with polygraph is a hard gate stated at the top of the qualifications section.
Angular 12/13, TypeScript, Python 3, Pandas, PIL/Pillow, Wand/ImageMagick, Kubernetes/Docker, and K9s all appear under an 'Experienced with the following' narrative block rather than a formal requirements section, so they are marked preferred — except Python, which is explicitly called out as required ('Solid experience with Python required') earlier in the posting.
The 'desired skills' section lists project management tools (MS Project, Planisware, SAP, etc.) and soft skills; these are generic methodologies or non-technical competencies and are not emitted as skills.
The posting describes responsibilities spanning both individual contributor and team-lead/oversight duties, suggesting the L2/L3 range covers both Mid and Senior candidates; the lower band (Mid) is used as the conservative estimate.
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.
