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 (6)
The posting requires a 'Public Trust' clearance, which is a federal suitability/background investigation designation rather than a standard DoD clearance level. It has been mapped to 'Confidential' as the closest available gate — note that Public Trust is technically a separate federal adjudication track, not a DoD clearance tier.
The 'Tier 1' label in the title and the 2+ years of security operations experience requirement both point to a Junior-level role focused on initial triage and SOP-driven escalation, with no independent ownership of investigations.
No compensation was stated in the posting.
The role is hybrid with a required onsite presence in Washington, DC; it is not fully remote.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): log analysis.
Requires a Confidential 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.
