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 $95,791 (middle half $77,906–$122,281).
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 (7)
The posting lists Docker and/or Kubernetes as a single gated requirement ('hands-on experience with Docker and/or Kubernetes'). Both are emitted as separate required skills since they are distinct technologies, but the 'and/or' phrasing means either alone may satisfy the gate.
No overall years-of-experience floor is stated as a single hard number. The Education/Experience section offers degree substitution paths (12+ years without a degree, 6+ years with a Master's) but frames these as equivalency options rather than a standalone experience floor — no overall years minimum is set.
A Bachelor's degree is listed as 'preferred' and explicitly waivable with sufficient experience, so the degree requirement is set to None.
The clearance requirement is TS/SCI with CI Poly (Counterintelligence Polygraph), which maps to TopSecretSci.
Scottsdale, AZ falls within the Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler, AZ CBSA (38060).
The SOC classification is a close call: the title and core duties (administer, maintain, troubleshoot Linux/container infrastructure) lean toward 15-1244 (Systems Administrators), but the DevOps/automation framing and container orchestration work could support 15-1252 (Software Developers). 15-1244 is chosen because the primary day-to-day work described is operating and maintaining infrastructure rather than building and shipping software.
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.
