Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.

What the occupation pays Median $104,294 (middle half $89,312–$132,317).

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 (7)

The role requires an active TS/SCI clearance (Top Secret with SCI eligibility) — this is a hard gate, not merely preferred.

The degree requirement states a Bachelor's with 2–4 years of experience, or a Master's with under 2 years, but explicitly allows an equivalent combination of education and/or experience — so no formal degree is treated as a hard gate.

Total experience minimum is set to 2 years, reflecting the lower bound of the stated 2–4 year range for a Bachelor's-level candidate.

Cisco, Juniper, MPLS, SONET/SDH, Optical Transport Network, and MSPP are listed in the requirements section as a knowledge domain ('one or more of the following'), which introduces some ambiguity; they are retained as required given their placement in the Minimum Qualifications block.

SolarWinds, JIRA, and Microsoft Office appear under Desired Qualifications and are marked as preferred.

The alt SOC 15-1241 (Computer Network Architects) is noted because the role includes circuit redesign and IP/transport architecture work, though the primary day-to-day duties are operational/NOC-focused, favoring 15-1244.

Requires a TS/SCI 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.
