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 Aug 5, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (11)

The job location is not specified in the posting; no CBSA or state could be determined. The role is likely on-site at a government facility given the TS/SCI requirement and tactical edge environment context.

The experience range is stated as '2-5 years'; the overall years minimum is set to 2 (the minimum). The wide salary band ($103,500–$181,100) suggests the role may accommodate candidates across that range.

Ansible, Terraform, and Puppet are listed together as 'automation tools such as' — the 'such as' qualifier means these are named examples of a required capability, not three independently required tools. They are captured as a group with cross-alternatives to reflect this.

RHEL and Ubuntu are listed as examples of Linux environments ('such as'); RHEL is the primary with Ubuntu as an alternative.

Bash and sh are listed together as a single scripting-language example; sh is captured as an alternative to Bash.

Jira and Confluence appear together under agile tooling; both are marked required as they are listed under the required skills section.

SAFe Agile training and REST/API experience appear under 'What Desired Skills You'll Bring' and are marked preferred accordingly.

Web development with UI/UX focus is listed as a desired skill but names no specific technology or framework, so it is omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.

Data parsers and data ingest methodologies are listed as desired but name no specific tool, so they are omitted.

The degree requirement is set to None because the posting explicitly states a combination of education and demonstrable experience will be considered in lieu of a degree.

Requires a TS/SCI 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.
