How this req sits in the market our data
What the occupation pays Median $108,178 (middle half $84,682–$137,059). 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 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (5)
The posting states 'A CURRENT SECURITY CLEARANCE WITH FS IS REQUIRED' — 'FS' most likely refers to Full Scope (polygraph), indicating a TS/SCI with Full Scope polygraph requirement. Classified as TopSecretSci accordingly.
The degree requirement is stated as 'A Bachelor's degree in a Qualified Engineering Field is great' — the phrasing 'is great' is ambiguous (not a firm gate), but given the overall context of a cleared government-contractor role with 15+ years required, it is treated as a minimum hard requirement. If the degree is truly only preferred, the gate should be removed.
AWS and Azure are listed together under 'Knowledge of Cloud Service provider offerings, specifically AWS and Azure' — both are named explicitly and emitted as separate required skills with each listed as an alternative for the other, reflecting that familiarity with either satisfies the cloud provider requirement.
Data sharing policies, data thread engineering (multi-domain TS/S/U threading), and system architecture/design documentation are substantive required competencies but name no specific tool or technology, so they are not emitted as skills per extraction rules.
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.
