How this req sits in the market our data
Rare in this occupation — lead with these, and say what you built with them.
Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.
What the occupation pays Median $131,929 (middle half $101,412–$164,081). 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 (7)
The role is dual-titled 'Database Administrator / Application Developer' — the responsibilities and required qualifications weight application development (C#/.NET, web apps, CI/CD) at least as heavily as database work (SQL Server DBA tasks), so Software Developers (15-1252) is the primary classification, with Database Administrators (15-1242) as a close runner-up.
A Bachelor's degree in CS/IT or a related field is listed as required, but the posting explicitly accepts 'equivalent combination of education and experience' — the degree requirement is therefore set to None.
An Active Secret clearance (or higher) is a hard gate stated in both the Required Qualifications and the posting header.
10+ years of experience is stated separately for both C#/.NET web application development and SQL Server — both skills carry the years demanded of 10. The overall role-level minimum is also 10 years.
Git and TFVC are listed as interchangeable version-control options ('Git and/or TFVC') and are captured as a single skill with alternatives.
IIS and Agile appear only under Preferred Qualifications and are marked accordingly.
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.
