How this req sits in the market our data
What the occupation pays Median $131,254 (middle half $103,221–$158,194).
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 posting requires 'at least five' of the listed tools (NPM, Cypress.io, esbuild, Bun, Apache Tomcat, Maven, SonarQube) under Required Qualifications — no single tool from this list is individually mandatory, so each is marked preferred. The gate is on the group as a whole.
Active Secret or interim Secret clearance is explicitly required; TS clearance is listed as preferred under Desired Qualifications.
A Bachelor's degree in a related field is required; a Master's may substitute for 2 years of the 7-year experience requirement, but the degree itself is still the baseline gate.
The Desired Qualifications section lists a second 'at least five of the following tools' group (GitLab, Jenkins, SonarQube, Fortify, JUnit5, Ansible, esbuild) for DevSecOps experience — GitLab and Jenkins are already captured as required; the remaining tools from this preferred group (Fortify, JUnit5, Ansible, esbuild, SonarQube) are marked preferred.
No compensation information is 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.
