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)

No work location is specified in the posting; CBSA is left blank. The role is likely on-site given the DOE Q/Top Secret clearance requirement, but no city or state is mentioned.

The clearance requirement states 'DOE Q, Top Secret or equivalent.' DOE Q clearance is roughly equivalent to a DoD Top Secret; this has been mapped to TopSecret (not TopSecretSci) as no SCI or polygraph is mentioned.

The role description blends software development tasks (encoding, testing, debugging, installing) with systems/business analysis duties (consulting users, clarifying objectives, writing documentation). It is classified as Software Developers (15-1252) with Computer Systems Analysts (15-1211) as the runner-up given this genuine ambiguity.

The 'Microsoft' environment requirement is vague — it likely refers to Windows Server or the broader Microsoft stack but no specific product is named in the posting.

No compensation figures are provided in the posting.

Requires a Top 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.
