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 $138,970 (middle half $107,524–$175,762).
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 (8)
The posting requires candidates to be 'fully cleared with a recent polygraph' — this is a hard gate for TS/SCI with polygraph.
No total years of experience are stated; seniority is assessed as Mid based on the breadth of responsibilities and lack of explicit senior-level scope or leadership requirements.
Docker and Kubernetes are listed together under a single containerization requirement ('such as Docker and Kubernetes'); they are emitted as separate skills since both are distinct technologies used alongside each other, not interchangeable substitutes.
Bash and Python are listed as interchangeable scripting options ('Bash, Python, or similar') and are cross-referenced in each other's alternatives.
Terraform and CloudFormation appear only under 'Desired Qualifications' and are marked preferred accordingly.
Infrastructure automation and configuration management tools are required but no specific tool is named beyond the desired-qualifications mention of Terraform/CloudFormation; no generic skill token is emitted for the unnamed required tools.
SOC confidence is Medium: the role writes and ships CI/CD automation and IaC code (pointing to 15-1252 Software Developers), but also has a significant operational/systems-administration dimension (pointing to 15-1244); 15-1252 is chosen as the primary because building pipelines and automating infrastructure is the dominant described activity.
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.
