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 (7)

The role is titled 'Mid-Level Cloud Developer' and requires 5+ years of cloud experience, which aligns with a Mid-level band — the title and requirements are consistent.

An active TS/SCI clearance is a hard gate; candidates are also subject to a CI Polygraph after start date and must be able to obtain and maintain CI Polygraph eligibility.

The posting is hybrid (not fully remote), with work locations in Winchester, VA or Washington, DC — both fall within the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria CBSA.

The JD describes a broad cloud role spanning design, development, migration, and infrastructure automation. It names no specific cloud platform (AWS, Azure, GCP) or tooling by name, making precise skill extraction difficult. All skills listed are derived from the explicit Requirements section but are capability-level rather than named technologies.

SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role blends software development (building cloud-based applications and services) with infrastructure/operations work (provisioning, governance, migration). 15-1252 Software Developers was chosen as primary given the emphasis on designing and developing cloud-based software products; 15-1244 is a plausible runner-up given the infrastructure automation and cloud operations duties.

Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): cloud architecture, infrastructure automation.

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.
