How this req sits in the market our data
Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.
What the occupation pays Median $101,310 (middle half $79,725–$129,425). 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 5, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (5)
The degree requirement lists a Bachelor's as the minimum but explicitly states that additional relevant experience may substitute for education — treated as no hard degree gate.
The 10-year overall experience floor is the primary role-level gate; a separate 5-year DoD/Federal Government sub-requirement is also stated but cannot be represented as a distinct field.
The alt SOC (15-1252 Software Developers) was considered because the role includes PowerShell automation development, but the primary day-to-day work is clearly operating and maintaining existing infrastructure rather than building software.
The wide salary band ($105K–$231K) is typical of CACI's government-contract postings and likely reflects geographic and labor-category variation across potential work sites.
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.
