How this req sits in the market our data
Rare in this occupation — lead with these, and say what you built with them.
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 clearance section states candidates must 'currently hold an active U.S. national security clearance' as a required qualification, but does not specify the exact level (Secret, Top Secret, etc.). The lowest standard US national security clearance level (Secret) has been used; the actual required level may be higher.
This role is contingent upon contract funding, which may affect actual hiring timelines.
The degree requirement lists a Bachelor's in a technical discipline 'or equivalent practical experience,' so no formal degree is hard-gated.
Containerized development environments appear in both the required and preferred sections: the required section gates on general containerized environments (mapped to Docker/Podman), while the preferred section specifically calls out rootless Podman — listed separately as preferred.
Java, Python, and TypeScript are listed under Preferred Qualifications as additional languages and are marked preferred accordingly.
Git and CI/CD pipelines also appear in the Preferred section (despite CI/CD tooling being required); Git is listed as preferred since it appears explicitly only under Preferred Qualifications as a standalone item.
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.
