What the occupation pays Median $166,452 (middle half $130,866–$200,954). This posting is about at that midpoint.

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 explicitly titled 'Mid-Level' and requires 5+ years of Data Engineering experience — the advertised and assessed seniority align at Mid.

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 (Winchester, VA or Washington, DC) — not fully remote.

The JD references 'open source, COTS, and GOTS technologies' but names no specific tools, frameworks, or platforms. No concrete named technologies could be extracted beyond the general capability areas described.

SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role spans data engineering (pipeline/integration → 15-1243) and analytics/visualization (→ 15-2031); the engineering and integration framing was weighted as primary.

No degree requirement is stated in the posting.

Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): data engineering, structured/semi-structured data processing.

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.
