Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Aug 18, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (6)

The posting lists Java, Python, Rust, C++, TypeScript, Visual Studio, and GitLab both in the opening line and in the requirements section — all treated as hard gates.

Maven, JavaScript, DataXplorer, and Query Time Analytics appear in a requirements-style sentence ('Experience with…') and are treated as hard gates accordingly.

The 'Nice to Have' section mentions cryptanalytic engineering, graph representation/transformation, digital logic emulation, and file parsing — these are described as domain activities rather than named technologies, so no additional skills were extracted from that section.

Work locations listed include Maryland, Virginia, Colorado, Texas, Utah, Florida, and Hawaii; the CBSA is set to Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, MD as the company (Constellation Technologies) is Maryland-based, but the actual assignment location is not specified.

No compensation figures are provided in the posting.

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.
