What this job asks for AI summary
A software engineering role focused on the full lifecycle of system development — from requirements analysis and design through integration and testing — within a cleared environment supporting high-performance computing and data analytics work in the Maryland/D.C. area. The position suits engineers with broad low-level and systems programming experience across C/C++/Java, Unix/Linux, networking protocols, and Python-based test automation, and requires an active TS/SCI with Polygraph.
Mid level · Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV · Bachelor's required · TS/SCI clearance
“or” means any one of them counts — you don't need all of them.

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 $158,337 (middle half $126,441–$180,105).
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 (10)
Active TS/SCI with Polygraph is explicitly required — this is a hard gate.
The JD accepts four years of equivalent military experience in lieu of a Bachelor's degree; however, since a degree is the stated baseline and the military substitution is an exception, the degree requirement is set to Bachelors.
A Master's in Computer Science or Computer Engineering is listed without 'required' or 'preferred' framing — it appears as a credential in the qualifications block but reads more like a desirable credential than a hard gate; it is not separately flagged as a skill since it is a degree, not a technology.
C, C++, and Java are listed as interchangeable options ('C, C++, or Java') under Required Skills; all three are captured with each other as alternatives.
The networking protocols note at the end ('TCP/IP, MPLS, Ethernet … preferred') is explicitly marked preferred in the posting, so MPLS/Ethernet are marked as preferred.
The role spans software development, system integration, testing, and reverse engineering — a broad systems/software engineering scope. 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is noted as a runner-up given the systems engineering and integration emphasis.
No compensation range or employment type is stated in the posting.
The posting is geographically described as serving Maryland and the Greater Washington D.C. area; the CBSA reflects the DC metro.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): DLL development.
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.
