How this req sits in the market our data
What the occupation pays Median $109,261 (middle half $92,000–$139,083).
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 (8)
The role sits at the boundary between software/cloud engineering (15-1252) and systems/infrastructure administration (15-1244). The emphasis on architecting and automating distributed storage solutions, writing infrastructure-as-code, and implementing cloud-native interfaces tips it toward 15-1252, but a candidate who primarily operates and configures AWS storage services without writing much code could also fit 15-1244.
Clearance: the JD states 'DoD Top Secret clearance is required' and separately that the candidate 'must be eligible to obtain a U.S. Top Secret/SCI security clearance.' The TS/SCI language is the higher bar and is treated as the gate; sponsorship is offered for highly qualified candidates, so active possession is not strictly required at hire.
Degree: a BS in Computer Science or related field is listed under Required Experience, but the parenthetical '(or equivalent experience)' means no formal degree is hard-gated.
The cloud-native storage access interfaces requirement (CSI, s3fs, Mountpoint for S3, FUSE-based file systems) is listed as a single requirement with named alternatives; CSI is used as the primary name with s3fs and Mountpoint for S3 in alternatives.
Terraform appears under Desired/preferred experience with the qualifier 'or similar'; well-known infrastructure-as-code alternatives are listed.
Start date is noted as August 2026; the role is hybrid with required weekly on-site visits in Dayton, OH — not fully remote.
No compensation figures were provided in the posting.
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.
