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 $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 (8)
No specific work location or metro area is stated in the posting; CACI is headquartered in Reston, VA, but the JD names no city or site. CBSA left blank.
The role requires an active TS/SCI with polygraph — not merely the ability to obtain one — making this a hard gate that will significantly constrain the candidate pool.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role emphasizes building and automating CI/CD pipelines, scripting, and GitOps workflows (signals for 15-1252 Software Developers), but also has a strong operational/infrastructure flavor (monitoring, reliability, incident response) that could support 15-1244. The primary day-to-day work leans toward writing automation and delivery tooling, so 15-1252 was chosen.
Degree requirement is None: the JD states 'Bachelor's degree in a technical field OR equivalent experience', so no degree is hard-gated.
Bash and Python are listed together as scripting skill examples; Bash is emitted as the primary with Python as an alternative since they are presented as interchangeable examples of the same scripting requirement.
Docker/containers: the JD requires 'working with and building containers' without naming a specific tool; Docker is the canonical container runtime and is emitted as the representative skill.
The wide salary range ($90,300–$189,600) likely reflects CACI's standard band across multiple geographic locations and contract labor categories, as the posting itself explains.
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.
