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)

The minimum requirement is a High School Diploma/GED plus 8 years of related experience in IT or Information Security — no college degree is hard-required, so the degree requirement is set to None.

The 8-year overall experience figure comes from the Requirements section and is set as the role-level minimum; the 4-year DevSecOps figure appears under Preferences and is not a hard gate.

AWS and Azure appear together under Preferences ('experience with either AWS or Azure'), so both are marked preferred and listed as alternatives of each other. However, the Skills & Competencies section describes extensive AWS-specific depth (Well-Architected Framework, ECS, EKS, CloudWatch, etc.), suggesting AWS is the primary platform in practice.

Ansible, Terraform, Packer, and CI/CD pipelines are called out explicitly in the primary responsibilities and the body of the JD as core deliverables of the role, supporting their treatment as hard gates even though the formal Requirements section is brief.

Jenkins, Azure DevOps, Git, and ServiceNow appear in the Skills & Competencies section framed as 'a big plus,' so they are marked preferred.

OpenShift and AKS appear together as interchangeable examples under Preferences and are captured as a single skill with an alternative.

Chaos engineering is mentioned under Preferences as 'familiar with' — it names no specific tool and is a methodology concept, so it is omitted per the generic-concept rule.

Certifications (AWS Solutions Architect, CKA/CKAD, Terraform Associate, etc.) are all listed under Preferences or as preferred — none are hard gates.

The compensation range ($133,059.85–$166,810) is described as a Metropolitan Statistical Area market reference range, not a guaranteed offer; a discretionary annual bonus may also apply.

SOC confidence is Medium: the role clearly writes and ships CI/CD pipeline code (15-1252), but a meaningful portion of the work involves operating and maintaining cloud infrastructure, which overlaps with 15-1244.
