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.

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 (8)
No specific work location is stated in the posting; CBSA is left blank. The role references government/data center environments and a 24/7 NOC, suggesting an on-site or hybrid posture — remote=false is the conservative read.
The degree requirement is 'Bachelor's degree … or equivalent relevant experience,' so no hard degree gate is set.
Certifications: CompTIA Sec+ and CCNA/CCNP are listed under Required Qualifications with firm language; Microsoft, ITIL, JNCIS, JNCIP, and RHCE appear under Preferred Qualifications.
Cisco is named as the primary vendor example in the required section alongside Juniper, Palo Alto, and Fortinet as interchangeable alternatives; all four are captured on one skill entry.
VMware/Hyper-V and cloud networking (AWS/Azure/GCP) appear in the required section but are framed as 'familiarity with' — a softer gate; they are marked preferred accordingly.
SOC confidence is Medium: the role is primarily network operations and administration (15-1244), but the JD also emphasizes infrastructure-as-code, scripting, and automation work that edges toward 15-1252 Software Developers. 15-1244 wins because the dominant day-to-day work is operating and troubleshooting enterprise network infrastructure.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): packet analysis, zero-trust architecture.
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.
