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 Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (6)

The degree requirement accepts 4 years of directly related experience in lieu of a Bachelor's degree, so the degree requirement is set to None.

SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role writes and maintains CI/CD pipelines, scripts, and deploys software (pointing to 15-1252 Software Developers), but also has a strong infrastructure operations and security compliance flavor that could support 15-1244. The primary day-to-day work — building pipelines, automation scripts, and deploying containerized applications — tips it to 15-1252.

Argo CD is listed parenthetically as an example of a Helm-based deployment tool under the required Helm charts bullet; it is treated as a preferred/illustrative example rather than a standalone hard gate.

The IAT Level II/III certification requirement (CompTIA Security+, CISSP, or CASP+) is listed under Required qualifications; the three named certifications are treated as interchangeable alternatives satisfying the same gate.

Travel up to 10% within the continental US is required per the posting.

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.
