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 $106,594 (middle half $82,076–$136,109). 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 (7)
The posting does not specify a single work location city — it references multiple states for compensation purposes (CA, CO, HI, IL, ME, MD, MA, MN, NJ, NY, VT, VA, WA, DC, and Cleveland, OH) but requires 100% onsite work. No CBSA could be reliably determined; the role is likely based in the Washington, DC metro area given the Accenture Federal Services / FBI financial systems context, but this is not stated explicitly.
The compensation range ($91,300–$184,900/year) applies only to the listed states and DC; actual pay may differ in other locations.
PostgreSQL and AWS appear in the responsibilities narrative rather than the Required Qualifications section, so they are marked as preferred.
The 'Bonus Points' item — experience with CARS or other FBI financial systems — is a nice-to-have and has been omitted from the skills list as it names a domain/system rather than a concrete technology tool.
The Top Secret clearance is explicitly required; no TS/SCI or polygraph is mentioned, so it is classified as TopSecret rather than TopSecretSci.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Section 508 compliance testing.
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.
