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 $138,970 (middle half $107,524–$175,762).
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 (6)
The role is primarily remote but requires occasional onsite visits to DC/Northern Virginia customer and corporate locations; remote status is subject to change at the customer's direction.
Clearance gate: candidates must be eligible to obtain a Secret clearance and must first obtain DHS Entry on Duty (EOD) suitability before starting. An active DHS EOD or active DHS Secret clearance is listed under Preferred Qualifications as a differentiator, not a hard gate.
No specific programming language or framework is named anywhere in the posting — the required technical skills are stated at a conceptual level (software engineering fundamentals, secure coding, CI/CD, version control). Version control and DevSecOps are inferred as hard gates from the Responsibilities and Required Qualifications sections.
AWS and Azure professional certifications are listed together under Preferred Qualifications; AWS is captured as the primary skill with Azure as an alternative since the posting treats them interchangeably as cloud certification options.
'Secure coding' and 'version control' are retained as named practices explicitly called out in the Required Qualifications section, even though they are not specific product names, because the posting explicitly gates on them by name.
Requires a Secret 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.
