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 $138,970 (middle half $107,524–$175,762). This posting is about at that midpoint.
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)
Location is not specified in the posting; the salary range references multiple states (CA, MA, NY, CO, HI, IL, MD, MN, NJ, VT, WA, DC) as reference points, suggesting the role could be based at various Lockheed Martin facilities. CBSA and state fields are left blank accordingly.
The role is part-time remote (hybrid), not fully remote — the employee works partly at a designated Lockheed Martin facility.
The JD gates on the *ability to obtain* a Secret clearance; an active Secret clearance is listed only under Desired Skills. The clearance gate is therefore 'must be able to obtain Secret', which maps to Secret.
Bachelor's degree is listed as 'or equivalent experience/combined education', so no hard degree requirement is set.
RHEL and Windows are listed together as a single OS experience requirement; RHEL is used as the primary skill name with Windows as an alternative, since they appear as a paired requirement rather than two distinct gates.
Git, GitLab, Jira, and Confluence are listed together as examples of version control and collaboration tools under Basic Qualifications; Git is used as the primary skill with the others as alternatives since the JD frames them as a single category requirement.
Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, Jenkins, microservices/SOA, and cybersecurity knowledge all appear under Desired Skills and are preferred, not required.
The salary range quoted ($76,500–$134,895) applies specifically to the listed states; the actual range may differ for other locations.
The role requires ability to travel OCONUS (outside the continental US), relevant for candidates who cannot travel internationally.
Requires a Secret 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.
