What the occupation pays Median $104,090 (middle half $86,062–$133,513).
Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Aug 11, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (7)
The SOC classification is a close call: the role sits at the intersection of network/systems operations (15-1244) and cybersecurity analysis (15-1212). The primary day-to-day work — running a 24/7 NOC, monitoring infrastructure, incident management, and change coordination — points to 15-1244, with security analysis as a supporting function.
The only hard-gated requirements are 1+ year of IT experience, an active DoD Secret clearance, and a DoD 8570.01 IAT Level II certification (e.g., CompTIA Security+ CE or higher). All technical tool and domain skills appear under 'Desired Requirements' and are treated as preferred.
The posting names 'DoW Secret Security Clearance' — this appears to be a typographical variant of 'DoD Secret Security Clearance'; classified accordingly.
No compensation figures are provided.
The role involves rotating 24/7 shift work (day/night) and up to 10% travel; candidates should be aware this is an on-site, shift-based position at Schriever SFB.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): DoD 8570.01 IAT Level II.
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.
