Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.

What the occupation pays Median $158,337 (middle half $126,441–$180,105). 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 (5)

The AWS, C#, Java, and Python requirement is stated as '2+ years of experience in AWS cloud-based solutions, C#, Java, and/or Python' — the 'and/or' framing means these are interchangeable to some degree. AWS is captured as a standalone required skill (cloud platform experience is clearly gated); C# is listed as the primary with Java and Python as named alternatives, reflecting the 'and/or' phrasing.

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

The posting notes that candidates will be subject to a Counterintelligence (CI) Polygraph after their start date; the clearance gate at hiring is TS/SCI eligibility, which maps to TopSecretSci.

The 5-year minimum is stated at the role level ('5 years of Software Developer experience'); the 2-year minimum is tied specifically to the named technologies (AWS, C#, Java, Python).

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.
