How this req sits in the market our data
Rare in this occupation — lead with these, and say what you built with them.
Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.

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 posting states 'W2 Hourly rate starts at $60' with no upper bound — only a minimum is captured.
The clearance requirement is stated as 'ACTIVE TOP SECRET CLEARANCE'; no SCI or polygraph is mentioned, so it is treated as Top Secret rather than TS/SCI.
CompTIA Security+ is explicitly called 'required' in the Qualifications section and is treated as a hard gate.
Kafka appears under Preferred Qualifications ('e.g., Kafka'), so it is listed as preferred.
MuleSoft or other integration certifications appear under Preferred Qualifications and are listed as preferred.
The role is classified as Mid-level: no overall years-of-experience floor is stated at the role level, and the only explicit years figure (2+ years integrating legacy systems) appears under Preferred Qualifications.
SOC confidence is Medium: MuleSoft integration development maps most naturally to Software Developers (15-1252), but the integration-platform/middleware focus could also fit 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other).
Requires a Top 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.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
