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 $135,107 (middle half $108,024–$176,763). 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 (7)
The Master's degree is explicitly listed as 'preferred,' not required — equivalent experience is implicitly accepted, so the degree requirement is set to None.
A current Palantir Foundry Application Developer Certification is stated as hard-required in the qualifications section, making Palantir Foundry a firm gate.
The role carries significant data architecture and governance responsibilities, which could suggest a secondary fit under Database Architects (15-1243), but the dominant day-to-day work — ML, predictive analytics, statistical modeling, and decision support — firmly places it in Data Scientists (15-2051).
An active TS/SCI clearance is an explicit hard gate; candidates without one cannot be considered.
The 10-year minimum experience requirement is stated at the role level with no specific technology attached, so it is captured as the overall experience floor rather than tied to any individual skill.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): dashboard development, data governance, workflow automation.
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.
