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). 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 Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (7)
The posting lists two salary ranges: '$171,000–$255,000' in the Job Summary section and '$196,350–$292,600 USD' in a separate Compensation section. The second, higher range appears to be the authoritative figure and is used here.
Location is not specified in the posting; no CBSA or state could be determined. The role may be remote or multi-location — the posting does not clarify.
U.S. Citizenship or Permanent Residency (Green Card) is explicitly required, but no formal US security clearance is gated.
The degree requirement accepts 'equivalent experience' in lieu of a Bachelor's or Master's degree, so no minimum degree is flagged as a hard gate.
This role blends software engineering (automation, coding) with SRE/infrastructure operations (Kubernetes, incident response, runbooks). It is classified as Software Developers (15-1252) because the JD emphasizes building automation and influencing architecture, but 15-1244 (Systems Administrators) is a genuine runner-up given the heavy operational and tier 2/3 support duties.
Python, Go, and PowerShell are listed as interchangeable scripting options ('Python, Go, or PowerShell'); Python is used as the primary with the others as alternatives.
The AI/MCP-enabled agentic workflows requirement is listed under Job Requirements with firm language; it is captured as a required skill under 'AI' given no specific named tool is mandated beyond the general capability.
