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 (8)
The role is contingent upon contract funding, which may affect actual headcount.
The clearance section states candidates must 'currently hold an active U.S. national security clearance or be able to receive and maintain one.' The minimum clearance level is not explicitly named (no 'Secret' or 'Top Secret' specified), but the defense context and national security framing indicate at minimum a Secret-level investigation is expected; the clearance requirement is set to Secret as the conservative floor.
C++ and Python are listed together with 'and/or' throughout the required qualifications — they are presented as interchangeable primary languages, so each is captured with the other as an alternative.
LaTeX and AsciiDoc appear together in a single required-qualifications bullet; both are retained as separate named tools since they are distinct technologies used alongside each other, not substitutes.
Schema translation technologies (XSD, Protocol Buffers, IDL) and MBSE concepts (XMI, SysML) appear under the Preferred Qualifications section.
No compensation figures were provided despite the posting referencing a 'listed pay scale' — no amounts were included in the text.
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.
Caller marked this a fully-remote role — scored against the national candidate pool.
