How this req sits in the market our data

Roughly 2,200 people nationally plausibly meet what this posting asks for (software developers). range 1,300–3,300

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

What the occupation pays Median $138,970 (middle half $107,524–$175,762).

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 (10)

The role is fully remote but candidates must reside within the continental United States.

The degree requirement is effectively None — the JD accepts 'equivalent experience' in lieu of a Bachelor's degree.

Background fingerprinting at a government facility is required, but no formal US security clearance is stated as a gate; clearance is treated as not required.

SOC confidence is Medium: the role writes and ships IaC, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment automation code (pointing to 15-1252 Software Developers), but also has a significant operational/infrastructure administration dimension (15-1244). The primary day-to-day work leans toward building and automating rather than operating existing systems.

Azure Networking is listed in the required expertise block but is a feature set of Azure rather than a distinct named product; it is captured under the Azure skill rather than emitted separately.

F5, Azure Application Gateway, PKI, Azure Policy, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Microsoft Sentinel, FedRAMP, and NIST all appear under the 'Additional Qualifications' section and are treated as preferred.

Azure Data Factory and Azure Databricks appear in the Responsibilities narrative (not the Requirements block) and are treated as preferred.

Mutual TLS (mTLS) and Zero Trust are security concepts/methodologies rather than named tools and are omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.

Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Microsoft Defender for Cloud.

This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
