A software engineering role on a federal government contract, focused on designing, developing, and maintaining a distributed metrics and monitoring platform for HPC infrastructure. The work centers on Splunk-based observability (dashboards, alerting, data onboarding), Python/shell scripting, and CI/CD automation, with some team-lead responsibilities. Candidates must hold an active TS/SCI clearance with an agency-appropriate polygraph.

Why we read it this way (7)
The posting lists work locations across Maryland, Virginia, Colorado, Texas, Utah, Alaska, Hawaii, and OCONUS. The CBSA is set to Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, MD as the most likely primary location given Wyetech's known footprint in the Maryland/NSA corridor, but the actual site is not explicitly stated.
The degree requirement is marked None because the JD offers a 14-year experience path with no degree, making a degree substitutable rather than a hard gate.
The minimum experience is 10 years (Master's + 10 years path); the 12-year and 14-year paths are alternatives depending on degree level.
Syslog-ng and rsyslog are listed together as interchangeable log management tools under the required technical skills section.
Docker, Java, Eclipse IDE, Spring, and the Atlassian suite (JIRA/Confluence) appear either in the general capabilities narrative or under 'Desired Technical Skills' and are therefore marked as preferred rather than hard gates.
The SOC runner-up (15-1244) reflects the HPC infrastructure monitoring and operations context, but the primary classification is Software Developers given the emphasis on designing, developing, and coding software systems.
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.
