What this job asks for AI summary
A people-management role leading a team of Azure engineers and architects supporting a large-scale enterprise cloud environment for DHS CISA. The Lead is primarily accountable for team performance, cadence, accountability, and delivery of Azure platform services — including AVD and infrastructure-as-code work — rather than hands-on technical execution. Suits an experienced engineering manager with a strong Azure background and comfort operating in federal or regulated environments.

How this req sits in the market our data
What the occupation pays Median $178,991 (middle half $141,096–$225,584). 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 6, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (6)
The posting is explicitly a leadership/people-management role (direct reports, performance management, 1:1s, hiring accountability), making 11-3021 the clear primary SOC. The alt code 15-1244 reflects the Azure platform operations context of the team being managed.
Clearance: the posting states 'Minimum Clearance Required to Start: None' but notes the candidate must be able to attain DHS Entry on Duty (EOD) — this is a suitability/background-check requirement, not a formal US security clearance, so the clearance requirement is set to None.
Location is not specified in the posting; CACI notes the role 'can be worked in more than one location' and provides a national average salary range. No CBSA has been assigned.
Degree requirement: the posting accepts equivalent years of experience in lieu of any degree (e.g., 16 years with no degree stated), so no minimum degree is hard-required.
Azure platform design, deployment, and operations is listed under Required qualifications but names no specific sub-tool beyond the Azure platform itself; it is captured as the Azure skill (must-have). AVD, Terraform, and Nerdio appear only in the 'Environment & Technologies' narrative and 'Desired' sections, so they are marked preferred.
The 5+ years of managing engineering teams is a role-level experience requirement captured in the overall years minimum (alongside the 10+ years enterprise IT requirement); the higher figure (10) is used per instructions.
