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 $138,970 (middle half $107,524–$175,762).
Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Aug 1, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (3)
The language requirement (C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Python) is stated as 'including, but not limited to' — proficiency in any one of these (or a comparable language) satisfies the gate. All six are listed here as a group of interchangeable alternatives rather than distinct independent requirements.
The degree requirement is effectively waived: the posting accepts a Bachelor's + 2 years experience OR equivalent experience OR a Master's degree, so no specific degree is a hard gate.
The posting references AI-assisted development and on-call/SRE collaboration as core responsibilities, but names no specific tools or platforms — nothing concrete enough to emit as a skill.
