How this req sits in the market our data
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 (8)
An active TS/SCI with Polygraph clearance is explicitly required — candidates without one will not be considered.
The degree requirement is effectively waived: the JD states a Bachelor's in CS or related field is required but then immediately allows 4 years of SWE experience to be substituted, so no formal degree is hard-gated.
The 4-year experience figure comes from the degree-substitution clause, not a standalone experience requirement; it is used as the overall years minimum as the closest available proxy for the role's experience floor.
'GhostMachine' and 'QTA' appear to be mission-specific or classified tooling associated with the intelligence community; they are listed as required skills in the posting but may be unfamiliar outside that community.
'Cloud' is listed as a required skill with no specific platform named (AWS, Azure, GCP, etc.).
No compensation, employment type, or remote-work information is provided in the posting.
The role is classified as Mid-level based on the 4-year experience floor and the absence of any senior/lead scope language; the title carries no explicit seniority label.
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.
