Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Aug 12, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (6)
The posting is structured unusually: the 'Basic Qualifications' section lists education and clearance requirements but no explicit technology gates. All named technologies appear under 'preferred skills or experiences' or 'What sets you apart' headings, so they are marked as preferred rather than required.
REST and gRPC are listed together as a single interchangeable requirement under the preferred section; they are captured as one skill with an alternative. Similarly, Python and Rust are presented as interchangeable options.
OLTP and OLAP are listed as distinct, non-interchangeable capabilities (both are expected), so they are emitted as separate skills.
The degree requirement is a hard gate: Bachelor's in a STEM field with 8+ years, or Master's with 6+ years. The minimum combination (Bachelor's + 8 years) drives the degree and the overall years minimum values.
Clearance is gated on the ability to obtain a Secret clearance, not on holding an active one. U.S. citizenship is also explicitly required.
Requires a Secret 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.
