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 (7)
The role writes and ships automation code (IaC scripts, deployment/monitoring scripts, CI/CD pipelines) as its primary function, which points to 15-1252 Software Developers; however, it also has a strong infrastructure operations component (VMware administration, network configuration, containerized asset management), making 15-1244 a plausible runner-up.
The clearance requirement states a minimum SECRET is required to start, with the ability to obtain TS/SCI — the hard gate is SECRET; TS/SCI is aspirational per the posting's own language ('ability to obtain').
Five years of experience is framed as 'preferred' in the posting ('Five years of related professional work experience preferred'), but given the scope of responsibilities and the breadth of required technical skills, Senior-level seniority is supported. The overall years minimum is set to 5 reflecting the stated preference.
Degree requirement is set to None because the posting explicitly accepts 'relevant technical experience and technical certifications' as an alternative to the Associate's/Bachelor's degree.
PowerPoint, Excel, Visio, Jira, and Confluence appear in the required section as tools for communicating system-wide performance information; they are captured as required per their placement under the required qualifications block.
Docker/containerization is implied by the Kubernetes and containerization requirements but no specific container runtime beyond Kubernetes is named; Docker is included as a preferred inference from the general containerization context.
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.
