How this req sits in the market our data
Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.
What the occupation pays Median $128,188 (middle half $100,819–$156,589). 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 (9)
The posting accepts additional experience in lieu of a Bachelor's degree, so the degree requirement is set to None.
Active DoD Secret Security Clearance is explicitly required as a hard gate.
Both CCNA and CCNP Security are listed as acceptable certifications ('Current CCNA or CCNP Security certification') — CCNA is the primary with CCNP Security as an alternative.
GEM-X is listed as a required DoD network management tool with 'or similar platforms' — no other specific named tool is provided in the posting, so no alternatives are populated.
Cisco ISE and Cisco DNA Center appear under the 'How you will wow us' section, which functions as a preferred/nice-to-have block.
Port Security is listed under required LAN switching technologies but is a configuration feature of Cisco switches rather than a distinct named tool; it is captured under the broader Cisco/Layer 2 switching requirements.
The role is on-site supporting AFNCR installations (Joint Base Andrews, Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, the Pentagon area), so remote is false.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): DoD 8140 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.
