Rare in this occupation — lead with these, and say what you built with them.
Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.
What the occupation pays Median $106,951 (middle half $78,366–$134,944). 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 29, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (8)
Clearance gate: the posting requires an active DoD Secret clearance (or the ability to obtain one) as a hard requirement, with the ability to obtain Top Secret or TS/SCI noted as a further goal — the clearance requirement is set to Secret as the stated minimum gate.
Degree requirement: a Bachelor's in GIS, Geography, Computer Science, or a related field is listed as a requirement, but the posting explicitly states 'equivalent experience in lieu of a degree may be considered,' so no minimum degree is enforced.
Scripting languages (Python, SQL, PL/pgSQL, PL/SQL) are listed together in the requirements section as a group with 'e.g.' framing; Python is captured as the primary skill with the others as alternatives, and SQL is also emitted separately given its standalone importance throughout the posting.
PL/pgSQL and PL/SQL appear only within the scripting-languages grouping in the requirements section; they are also captured as a preferred pair given their more specialized nature relative to Python/SQL.
PostGIS appears in both the required responsibilities (PostgreSQL with PostGIS extensions) and the preferred section (advanced knowledge of PostGIS); it is marked required based on its prominent role in the core responsibilities.
CompTIA Security+ and CISSP are explicitly listed under the preferred qualifications section.
The alternative occupation code (15-1243 Database Architects) reflects the genuine ambiguity: the role involves significant database design, migration strategy, and geospatial data modeling alongside traditional DBA operations.
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.
