How this req sits in the market our data

What the occupation pays Median $106,594 (middle half $82,076–$136,109).

Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Aug 8, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (9)

The clearance requirement is explicitly stated as an active TS/SCI with NSA Full Scope Polygraph — this is a hard gate.

The degree requirement accepts a Bachelor's with 9+ years OR a Master's with 7+ years; the overall years minimum is set to 7 (the lower bound when the higher degree is held). The Bachelor's path requires 9 years.

The tools list (Cucumber/Gherkin, Playwright, JMeter, Swagger, Selenium, Cypress, Section 508 tools) is framed as 'experience with at least two of the following' — no single tool is individually required. They are marked preferred accordingly, except Cucumber/Gherkin which is listed first as the representative entry for that pair.

JAWS and NVDA are listed as interchangeable Section 508 accessibility testing tools; NVDA is captured as an alternative to JAWS.

Swagger is listed with 'or similar API testing tools'; Postman and Insomnia are noted as common substitutes.

The job location is not specified in the posting; given the NSA Full Scope Polygraph requirement, the role is very likely in the Fort Meade/Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, MD area, but this cannot be confirmed from the text alone — CBSA left blank.

Agile/Scrum, DevSecOps, CI/CD, and the remaining desired qualifications appear under 'Desired Qualifications' and are marked preferred.

Compensation is described only as salary dependent on experience with no figures given.

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.
