How this req sits in the market our data
Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.
What the occupation pays Median $101,310 (middle half $79,725–$129,425).
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 (11)
Location is not specified in the posting beyond 'multiple locations worldwide' supporting an Intelligence Community customer; no specific CBSA could be determined.
The role is on a 10-year contract vehicle, making it a Contract engagement rather than direct FullTime employment.
TS/SCI clearance is required; CI polygraph eligibility is also required (must be able to obtain), which is treated as a TS/SCI gate.
A Bachelor's degree is listed but explicitly paired with 'or the equivalent combination of education, technical training, or work/military experience,' so no hard degree requirement is set.
The 5+ years of experience requirement is stated at the role level (Linux systems administration in enterprise environments) and is captured as the overall experience minimum.
Red Hat Capsule appears alongside Satellite in the required skills; it is a component of the Satellite ecosystem and is folded under the Red Hat Satellite skill rather than listed separately.
Grafana and Zabbix appear in both the Responsibilities section (as context) and the Desired Skills section; they are treated as preferred since they are explicitly listed under 'Desired Skills.'
OAuth/LDAP/SSO and load balancing (HAProxy/F5) appear only under 'Desired Skills' and are marked preferred accordingly.
The SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is primarily Linux systems administration and infrastructure operations (15-1244), but the significant Ansible automation and scripting development work introduces a credible 15-1252 signal.
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.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
