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 degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree... or equivalent experience,' so no formal degree is hard-gated.

The clearance requirement is framed as 'ability to obtain and maintain any required US security clearances (when applicable)' — this is a soft eligibility gate, not a hard requirement to hold an active clearance at time of hire; the clearance requirement is set to None accordingly.

Windows and Linux are listed together as a single requirement ('Windows/Linux operating systems'); emitted as two separate skills with each as an alternative for the other, since both are named as part of the same gate.

Network infrastructure, security principles, and system monitoring tools are grouped under a single required bullet; 'network infrastructure' and 'firewalls' are extracted as the most concrete named elements. 'System monitoring tools' is too generic to emit as a named skill.

ITAR/EAR compliance knowledge and GovCon experience appear under the Preferred section; ITAR is emitted as preferred. EAR is not emitted separately as it is subsumed by the ITAR compliance context.

Industry certifications (CompTIA Security+, Network+, Microsoft, Cisco) are listed under Preferred; emitted as a single preferred skill with alternatives.

No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
