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 (4)
The degree requirement is effectively None: the JD explicitly states 'additional years of experience may be substituted in lieu of a degree.'
The DoD IAT Level II baseline certification (CompTIA Security+) is a hard gate — the posting states it must be held 'prior to start.' This is a certification requirement, not a US government security clearance, so the clearance requirement is set to None.
The role is classified as network operations/administration (15-1244) rather than software development, as the posting centers on network hardware troubleshooting, protocol knowledge, and network engineering — not building software. 15-1299 is noted as a runner-up given the breadth of senior network engineering duties.
8+ years of network engineering experience is the stated minimum; a bachelor's degree is listed but waivable by experience.
