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)
TS/SCI with BOTH polygraphs (counterintelligence and full-scope) is a hard gate — this is among the most restrictive clearance requirements possible and will significantly constrain the candidate pool.
The degree requirement is internally contradictory: the LCAT Qualifications section offers a no-degree path (10 years experience) and a substitution path (2 years experience per degree), yet the closing NOTE states 'Bachelor's degree in related discipline is required.' Degree requirement has been set to None to reflect the multiple non-degree pathways explicitly offered, but hiring managers should clarify the actual gate.
Total years minimum is set to 8, reflecting the lowest stated threshold (Bachelor's + 8 years). The no-degree path requires 10 years.
The bullet-list technologies (CatOS, NX-OS, TACACS+, FWSM, HP OpenView, F5, Infiniband, Juniper, FC SAN, VMware, Solaris, Atlassian, packet capture) appear in the job description narrative rather than under a distinct required-qualifications heading, so they are marked as preferred. Core Cisco routing/switching/firewall and TCP/IP skills are explicitly called out as 'strong knowledge' requirements and are marked required.
No compensation information is provided in the posting.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): L3/L4 access controls, datacenter network design, DoD 8570 IAT Level II.
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.
