What the occupation pays Median $158,337 (middle half $126,441–$180,105). 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 Aug 1, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (8)

The posting lists both 'ServiceNOW Certified System Administrator' and 'ServiceNow Certified Administrator' — these appear to refer to the same certification and have been consolidated into one skill.

A Bachelor's degree in a relevant engineering or CS discipline is stated as required, but the posting explicitly allows substitution with 5 additional years of SE experience — the degree requirement is therefore set to None.

The 19+ years of experience requirement is unusually high and is stated explicitly in the posting; it is reflected in the overall years minimum.

The posting references a polygraph alongside a security clearance ('current or active security clearance with a polygraph'), which maps to TS/SCI.

The role title is not given; the posting blends Systems Engineering leadership language with hands-on software development day-to-day duties, making SOC classification ambiguous between 15-1252 (Software Developers) and 15-1299 (Systems Engineers/All Other). 15-1252 was chosen based on the day-to-day tasks described.

IAT Level 2 is a certification category (DoD 8570), not a specific named certification beyond Security+ CE, which is already captured; no additional skill was emitted for the category label alone.

Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Systems Engineering.

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.
