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 $125,654 (middle half $96,394–$162,956).
Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Aug 7, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (7)
The posting requires an active TS/SCI clearance with a current Maryland Polygraph — this is a hard gate and significantly narrows the eligible candidate pool.
A Bachelor's degree in a related technical field is listed as required, but the posting explicitly states that 5 additional years of directly related System Administration experience may be substituted in lieu of a degree — the degree requirement is therefore set to None.
Compensation is not disclosed; the posting states it will be determined individually following the interview process.
Virtualization is listed as part of the required enterprise infrastructure experience ('enterprise servers, storage, networking, virtualization, and client infrastructure') but no specific virtualization platform (e.g., VMware, Hyper-V) is named.
The Maryland Polygraph requirement strongly implies a work location in the Maryland/National Capital Region area, though no specific city or facility is stated in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): patch management.
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.
