Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.

What the occupation pays Median $136,507 (middle half $103,395–$173,217).

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 only hard-required qualification is a Bachelor's degree (or equivalent experience) plus hands-on experience developing and implementing security solutions — no specific technologies are gated in the Required Qualifications section. All named technologies (Microsoft Sentinel, Defender, Purview, KQL, DLP, etc.) appear exclusively under Preferred Qualifications and are therefore marked preferred.

The degree requirement is listed as 'Bachelor's degree… or equivalent qualifying experience,' so no formal degree is treated as a hard gate.

The title carries no seniority level, but the scope of responsibilities (threat hunting, forensic investigations, enterprise security architecture, cross-functional collaboration) supports a Senior-level classification.

No compensation range is stated in the posting.

The role is hybrid in Sacramento, CA — not fully remote.

Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps.
