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 $104,294 (middle half $89,312–$132,317). 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 (9)
The experience requirement is tiered by education: HS+12 yrs, AS+10 yrs, BS+8 yrs, MS+6 yrs, PhD+3 yrs. The overall years minimum is set to 8 (the BS-level minimum), which is the most common baseline; actual minimum could be as low as 3 years with a PhD.
Clearance is listed as 'Ability to obtain DoD TS/SCI' — the candidate must be able to obtain TS/SCI, not necessarily hold it at time of application, but it is a hard gate.
DoD IAT Level II certification (e.g., CompTIA Security+) is explicitly required.
The role title is 'Systems Engineer' but the day-to-day work centers on O&M of network/systems infrastructure, Directory Services, PKI, and end-user support — consistent with a senior systems/network administrator rather than a software developer. The alternative occupation code 15-1299 is noted as the role also has engineering-level design responsibilities.
DoW 8140 Work Role Code 451 (System Administrator – Intermediate or higher) is listed under 'Highly Desired Qualifications' with a compliance deadline of 1 Oct 2026, so it is treated as preferred rather than a current hard gate.
WinTAK, TRAX, and Tactical Data Link systems appear under 'Highly Desired Qualifications' and are marked preferred.
Cloud infrastructure is listed as a required responsibility ('Engineer and lead the enterprise cloud environments') and is treated as a hard gate, though no specific cloud platform is named.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Role-Based Access Control, DoD IAT Level II.
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.
