Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.

What the occupation pays Median $102,322 (middle half $79,797–$130,897).

Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 29, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (6)

The 6-year experience requirement is stated specifically for NetBackup and IBM Spectrum Protect Suite combined — it reads as a role-level gate tied to those two named tools rather than a general years-of-experience floor, so it is reflected on both skills rather than as a standalone total experience requirement.

A Bachelor's degree is listed as 'preferred,' not required, so the degree requirement is set to None.

The clearance requirement is Top Secret with willingness to sit for a CI Polygraph. The posting does not state TS/SCI, so this is classified as TopSecret rather than TopSecretSci.

Cohesity appears under the requirements section but is explicitly flagged as 'preferred,' so it is marked as preferred.

The role is primarily infrastructure operations (backup/storage administration, SAN/NAS/tape management) rather than software development, though scripting/automation duties add a mild 15-1252 signal — 15-1244 is the stronger fit.

Requires a Top 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.
