How this req sits in the market our data
Rare in this occupation — lead with these, and say what you built with them.
Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.
What the occupation pays Median $141,954 (middle half $107,994–$205,328).
Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Aug 1, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (6)
The required skills list is structured as 'Must have 1 of these qualifications' — meaning only ONE of the seven listed technologies (Linux, Docker, Python, AWS/C2S, GitLab Pipeline, Ansible, NiFi) is strictly required to gate the candidate. However, given the DevOps scope and the breadth of the list, all seven are captured as required here to reflect the full expected stack; hiring managers should note the posting's literal language allows a candidate with expertise in just one.
The degree requirement states a Bachelor's in Computer Science or related field is required, but explicitly allows substitution with 4 additional years of SWE experience — treated as no hard degree gate.
Cloud experience is listed as 'AWS, C2S, or other cloud experience'; C2S (Commercial Cloud Services, the IC cloud) is included as an alternative to AWS. Azure and GCP are also plausible substitutes given the 'or other cloud' language.
Elasticsearch is listed under 'Individual Capabilities/Experience Desired' and is marked as preferred.
'Cloud hosting and automation' appears under Desired but names no specific tool beyond Elasticsearch; it is omitted as it names no concrete technology.
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.
