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.
What the occupation pays Median $116,580 (middle half $79,370–$157,500). 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 (8)
Work location is not explicitly stated in the posting; the role supports DoD/DoW classified environments (including IL5/IL6 enclaves), which strongly implies an on-site or government-facility requirement. Remote is marked false accordingly.
The 7+ years figure is tied specifically to Splunk Enterprise experience; it is also the largest role-level experience gate in the posting and is used as the overall years minimum.
The 3+ years of AIOps/ITSM experience (with ServiceNow) is a separate, named-technology gate and is reflected on the ServiceNow skill's years demanded.
An active IAT Level II certification (Security+ CE, CySA+, GSEC, or SSCP) is explicitly required but is a professional certification, not a named technology tool, so it is captured in notes rather than the skills list.
US Citizenship is explicitly required in addition to the TS/SCI clearance.
SolarWinds, VMware vCenter, cloud observability (Azure/AWS), and RMF/ATO knowledge appear under the 'How you will wow us' (preferred/nice-to-have) section.
The SOC code 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used because AIOps Engineering — combining ML-driven observability, ITSM orchestration, and Splunk platform architecture — does not map cleanly to a single standard SOC; 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) is the closest runner-up given the cyber defense and DoD security compliance emphasis.
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.
