Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 29, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (9)
The salary range ($75,200–$158,100/year) is stated as a national average; actual pay will vary by location and applicable DoD contract wage rates.
TS/SCI with polygraph is a hard gate — candidates must hold or be able to obtain this clearance before starting.
DoD 8140.01/8570.01-M IAT Level II certification (e.g., CompTIA Security+, CCNA Security, or equivalent) is explicitly required in the qualifications section.
Networking certifications (JNCIA, JNCIP, CCNA, CCNP) appear under the 'Desired' section and are listed as highly preferred, not required.
The posting does not specify a single work location beyond an Intelligence Community customer site; the Washington DC metro area is the most probable location given the IC customer context, but this is inferred.
The position is contingent on funding and may not be filled immediately.
The alt SOC (15-1252) was considered briefly due to cloud migration and integration responsibilities, but the primary day-to-day work is clearly network operations and infrastructure administration.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): DoD 8570 IAT II.
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.
