Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Aug 15, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (6)

The role sits at the boundary between software/infrastructure development (IaC, CI/CD pipelines, automation code) and systems/cloud operations (Tier III support, sustainment, monitoring). 15-1252 was chosen because the primary deliverables are code-driven — IaC, pipeline automation, and platform engineering — but 15-1244 is a credible alternative given the strong operational sustainment and systems administration emphasis.

No explicit years-of-experience requirement is stated in the posting; total experience was left unspecified.

No security clearance is explicitly required as a hard gate, though the role supports DoD/federal workloads and clearance eligibility is implied. Candidates should expect a clearance may be required or preferred.

All certifications listed (AWS, Azure, PMI, CompTIA) appear under 'Preferred Certifications' and are therefore marked as preferred, not required.

The enterprise tooling section (Jenkins, Splunk, Prisma Cloud, CyberArk, Okta, Keycloak, Jira, Confluence, ACAS, HBSS, LogRhythm, Active Directory, Azure Boards) is framed as 'experience supporting' rather than as hard gates, so these are marked preferred.

No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
