Developing and maintaining software systems within classified environments, participating in secure software development lifecycle practices, collaborating with cleared technical teams, managing development within access control requirements, and contributing to technical documentation.
Active TS or TS/SCI clearance (CI Poly or Full Scope Poly for certain programmes), software engineering proficiency in relevant languages and frameworks, and experience working within classified or controlled unclassified information environments.
Cleared software engineers who hold active polygraph clearances — particularly full scope poly — are extremely scarce. Organisations that can match their compensation and offer mission-aligned work consistently outperform those that rely on contract vehicle or clearance access alone as attractors.
