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 $97,804 (middle half $78,520–$131,929).
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 (6)
The minimum education requirement is a High School Diploma; a Bachelor's degree is listed only under Preferred Qualifications, so no formal degree is hard-gated.
The certification requirement (CISSP) accepts equivalents: IAM Level II or DOD 8140 Level II — these are captured as alternatives.
The 8-year experience figure is the minimum stated in the required section; the preferred section mentions 4 years, which appears to be a separate, lower bar for preferred candidates and is likely a typo or refers to a specific sub-domain — the hard gate remains 8 years.
No compensation information is provided in the posting.
The DoD policy frameworks (DoDD 8500.1, DoDD 8520.1, DoDI 8510.01, DoD 8570.01M, DoDI 8580.1) are explicitly called out as required knowledge in the minimum experience section and are captured as required skills.
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.
