What the occupation pays Median $138,970 (middle half $107,524–$175,762). 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 15, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (8)

No work location or metro area is specified in the posting; the TS/SCI clearance requirement and government-contractor context strongly suggest a Washington, DC–area position, but this is not stated explicitly.

The degree requirement lists 'Bachelor's or Master's' — Bachelor's is treated as the minimum hard gate.

Angular 14+ is the version specified in the Required Skillset.

Tomcat and JBoss are listed together as a single required item; JBoss is captured as an alternative since either application server satisfies the requirement.

Ajax is listed alongside JavaScript as a distinct item in the Required Skillset and is retained as a separate skill.

Atlassian tools and Agile methodology appear under 'Optional Skillset' and are marked as preferred accordingly.

'Agile' is a methodology rather than a named tool, but it is explicitly listed in the Optional Skillset section and is retained as a preferred skill on that basis.

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.
