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 $135,107 (middle half $108,024–$176,763).
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 is classified as Secret-cleared (active Secret required); TS/SCI is listed as preferred, not a hard gate. The posting also requires the ability to obtain DHS EOD Suitability, which is a separate adjudication process.
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role blends ML/AI engineering (15-2051) with substantial automation/software development work (15-1252). The primary framing — designing ML pipelines, LLM integration, and AI-driven automation — tips toward Data Scientists, but a Software Developers classification would also be defensible.
Degree requirement: the JD accepts a HS Diploma plus 7+ years of relevant experience as an alternative to a BS, so no minimum degree is hard-gated.
The 5+ years figure is the stated experience floor for candidates with a BS; the HS-diploma path requires 7+ years. The lower bound (5) is used for the overall years minimum.
U.S. Citizenship is listed as a required skill in the JD; it is a legal/eligibility gate rather than a technical skill and is not emitted as a skill — it is captured via the clearance requirement.
Malware analysis automation and cybersecurity tools experience appear only under Desired Skills and are not emitted as required.
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.
