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 $137,274 (middle half $105,061–$170,815).
Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Aug 8, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (6)
This posting covers three LCAT levels simultaneously: Level 2 (Bachelor's + 3 yrs or Associate's + 5 yrs), Level 3 (Bachelor's + 10 yrs or Associate's + 12 yrs), and Level 4 (Bachelor's + 15 yrs or Associate's + 17 yrs). The seniority band and the overall years minimum reflect the entry-level (Level 2) floor of 3 years; the upper levels would map to Senior.
A TS/SCI clearance with BOTH polygraphs (counterintelligence and full-scope/lifestyle) is explicitly required — this is a hard gate.
The posting names no specific programming languages, tools, or platforms. The required skills are described only at the capability-domain level (foundations, data processing, modeling/inference/prediction), so no concrete named technologies could be extracted beyond those general categories.
Degree requirement is set to None because the posting accepts an Associate's degree plus additional years of experience as an alternative to a Bachelor's degree at every level.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): mathematical modeling, large-scale data analysis.
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.
