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 (9)

No work location is specified in the posting; the role is listed under Guidehouse's central CTO office with up to 10% travel, suggesting it is likely US-based but the specific metro is unknown.

The degree requirement is effectively None: the JD explicitly accepts 8 years of relevant experience in lieu of a Bachelor's degree.

Total years minimum is set to 4 (the lower bound of the 'Bachelor's + 4 years OR 8 years without degree' gate).

The SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role writes and ships infrastructure-as-code and automation (pointing to 15-1252 Software Developers), but has a strong operational/platform-administration flavor that could also support 15-1244. The code-writing emphasis and GitOps/CI/CD delivery framing tipped the classification to 15-1252.

Python, Go, and JavaScript are listed as interchangeable options for the required deep language experience (3–4 years in at least one); Python is used as the primary name with the others as alternatives.

Databricks is the named primary analytics platform; Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery, and Azure Synapse are listed as acceptable alternatives in the same requirement.

Azure and AWS are presented as interchangeable cloud platforms in the requirements section; Azure is listed as primary with AWS as the alternative.

Helm, Docker, and Ansible appear under the 'What Would Be Nice To Have' section and are therefore preferred, not required.

Cloud certifications (Azure or AWS) are explicitly called 'preferred' in the nice-to-have section.
