How this req sits in the market our data
What the occupation pays Median $196,631 (middle half $161,086–$222,978). 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 18, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (8)
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's Degree … or combination' (i.e., equivalent experience accepted), so no hard degree gate is set.
The 3+ years of experience is stated alongside the degree as a combined requirement tied to the role broadly, not to a specific technology.
A DoD Secret clearance (or the ability to obtain one) is a hard gate; candidates who cannot obtain one are explicitly excluded.
JIRA, Git, SharePoint, and Fortify appear under the 'Desired' section as preferred COTS tools.
Scrum Master/Team Coach certification and other Agile certifications are listed under 'Desired', as is SCN/DoD program experience.
The role also functions as Scrum Master, but that is framed as a responsibility rather than a separate hard-gated credential.
The salary range ($82,100–$172,400/year) is wide, consistent with CACI's standard band language noting that geography, contract wage rates, and experience all influence final pay.
Requires a 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.
