Clearance reality check
Clearance reality check: level is only part of the requirement
Those are three separate filters. “Obtainable” is not a sponsorship guarantee, and clearance level alone does not tell you whether a polygraph is required.
How to read the weekly report
The report covers the last completed Monday-through-Sunday UTC week: Sep 28–Oct 4, 2026. Jobs must still be active, name a Colorado workplace, and explicitly require Secret or higher clearance.
“Added” means first found by Cleared Colorado, not necessarily the employer’s original posting date. Counts describe postings, not hires or growth in headcount.
Role groups do not overlap. Software, developer, programmer, DevSecOps, and full-stack titles count as software first. Remaining titles containing system or systems count as systems; other titles make up the remainder.
