How this req sits in the market our data
What the occupation pays Median $128,188 (middle half $100,819–$156,589). 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 role is titled 'Sr. Systems Engineer / Endpoint Lead' — it sits at the boundary between systems administration (15-1244) and systems analysis (15-1211). The primary day-to-day work (endpoint deployment, imaging, lifecycle management, configuration standards) aligns more closely with 15-1244; 15-1211 is listed as the runner-up given the systems integration and RMF/compliance responsibilities.
TS/SCI clearance with SAP eligibility is explicitly required and stated as a hard gate; only applicants with current clearances will be considered.
A Bachelor's degree in a related field is listed under Required qualifications, but the posting explicitly accepts 'equivalent experience' as a substitute, so no minimum degree is flagged.
Endpoint management tools and imaging platforms appear under 'Nice to Have' and are marked preferred accordingly, even though endpoint management experience is separately required in the main qualifications block.
Security+, MCSE, and ITIL are listed together as example certifications under 'Nice to Have'; they are grouped as alternatives of one another since the posting treats them interchangeably as relevant credentials.
The salary range ($125,000–$210,000/year) is explicitly described as a target range and not a compensation guarantee.
Ignored 4 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): endpoint management, systems engineering, NIST SP 800-53, NIST SP 800-37.
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.
