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 (6)
The role is classified as 15-1243 (Database Architects) given its primary focus on designing and maintaining ETL/data integration pipelines, Redshift/Oracle data platforms, and data ingestion architecture. However, the CI/CD, Terraform, and application support duties create a meaningful overlap with 15-1252 (Software Developers).
A Secret clearance is listed as the minimum required to start; U.S. Citizenship is explicitly required.
Oracle and 'Working knowledge of Redshift and Oracle environments' appear in the Required section, so Oracle is marked required. PL/SQL and Oracle performance optimization appear only under Desired.
AWS Lambda appears in the responsibilities narrative (operational support context) but not in the Required qualifications list; marked preferred accordingly.
Splunk and Zabbix are listed together under Desired as interchangeable monitoring/troubleshooting tools; emitted as one preferred skill with Zabbix as an alternative.
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.
