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 (7)
The role is titled 'Senior Developer II', which maps to a Senior-level individual contributor; the requirements (5+ years, technical leadership, mentoring) are consistent with Senior.
Clearance gate: candidates must be eligible to obtain a Secret clearance and must obtain DHS Entry on Duty (EOD) suitability before starting. An active DHS EOD or active Secret clearance is listed under Preferred Qualifications as a differentiator, not a hard gate to apply.
No specific programming language is named anywhere in the posting — 'modern programming languages' is the only language reference, which is too generic to emit as a named skill.
AWS and Azure appear together under 'Familiarity with AWS/Azure cloud services' in the Required section; they are treated as interchangeable alternatives for the cloud-platform requirement.
DevSecOps is referenced in the responsibilities section as a required support activity ('Support cloud deployments and DevSecOps pipelines'), consistent with a hard gate given the overall required-qualifications framing.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
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.
