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 $108,750 (middle half $92,350–$141,840).
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 degree requirement is effectively waivable: the JD states '14 years of experience may be substituted for a degree,' so no formal degree is treated as a hard gate.
AWS is listed as a required skill in the responsibilities and required qualifications (on-premises and cloud environments), but specific AWS services (RDS, EC2, Lambda, CloudFormation) appear only under Preferred Qualifications — those individual services are marked preferred accordingly.
PowerShell scripting appears only under Preferred Qualifications despite being mentioned in the responsibilities narrative; the Preferred section is authoritative for gating purposes.
Ansible and Terraform are mentioned in the responsibilities section but appear explicitly under Preferred Qualifications, which governs their classification.
SharePoint migration experience is listed under Preferred Qualifications with no mention in required qualifications.
The role is fully onsite in Laurel, MD — no remote option is indicated.
An active TS/SCI with Polygraph is a hard gate; candidates who cannot hold or obtain this clearance are explicitly excluded.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): DoD 8570 IAT Level I.
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.
