Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.

What the occupation pays Median $101,310 (middle half $79,725–$129,425).

Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Aug 13, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (4)

The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree … or equivalent professional experience,' so no formal degree is hard-gated.

Certifications (Microsoft, Cisco, CompTIA) are listed as a plus under Preferred Qualifications and are not captured as discrete skills since no specific certification is named as a hard gate.

Bilingual English/Spanish is listed as a plus but is a soft skill/language preference, not a technology, so it is omitted from the skills list.

With 5+ years required and a scope limited to administering existing infrastructure (no software development or platform-building), this role is assessed as Mid-level despite the experience threshold — it is a hands-on operational administrator role without evidence of broader org-wide technical authority.
