How this req sits in the market our data
Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.
What the occupation pays Median $132,736 (middle half $104,315–$164,234).
Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Aug 15, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (7)
The role blends systems integration (building/loading systems, OS work) with test planning and execution, making it a genuine hybrid between 15-1253 (QA/Testing) and 15-1244 (Systems Administration). Testing and compliance verification appear to be the primary framing, so 15-1253 was selected, with 15-1244 as the runner-up.
The 6-year experience requirement includes a desired (not required) 2 years within the Intelligence Community or signals intelligence — the IC experience is preferred, not a hard gate.
An Associate's Degree is listed as required, but the posting explicitly allows substitution with 2 additional years of technical experience, so no minimum degree is flagged as a hard requirement.
Python and Java are listed together ('Python/Java') in the required section; Python is captured as the primary skill with Java as an alternative, reflecting that either language likely satisfies the requirement.
AWS, GitLab, Agile, and cloud hosting/automation appear under the 'Desired' section and are marked as preferred accordingly.
No compensation figures are stated in the posting.
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.
