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).
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 (5)
The IAT II certification requirement lists Security+ as the primary example alongside CCNA-Security, CySA+, CND, GICSP, GSEC, and SSCP — any one of these satisfies the gate; all alternatives are captured.
Linux is listed as a minimum qualification ('Working knowledge of Linux systems'), though the role's depth expectation is basic/cross-platform support rather than deep Linux administration.
The posting specifies a shift of 12:00pm–8:00pm, which the employer labels 'night shift' — worth noting for candidates evaluating schedule fit.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Requires a TS/SCI 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.
