How this req sits in the market our data
What the occupation pays Median $129,834 (middle half $101,882–$164,857).
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 titled 'Systems Engineer' (SE) but the day-to-day work described — requirements gathering, documentation, sprint planning, stakeholder communication, and JIRA task management — is primarily systems/business analysis rather than hands-on engineering or software development; 15-1211 is the best fit, with 15-1299 as a runner-up given the SE framing.
An active TS/SCI with Polygraph is explicitly required as a hard gate.
The degree requirement is effectively None: the JD accepts 5 additional years of SE experience in lieu of a bachelor's degree, making the degree substitutable rather than a hard gate.
14 years of Systems Engineering experience is the stated minimum at the role level.
All desired/preferred skills (Kubernetes, Rancher, Helm, Elasticsearch, Kibana, Grafana) appear under the 'Desired Skills' heading and are framed as 'understanding of or experience with,' making them clearly optional.
No compensation information is 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.
