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 $121,586 (middle half $89,036–$154,361). This posting is about at that midpoint.
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 (9)
A Bachelor's degree is listed as required but the JD explicitly accepts '4+ additional years of cybersecurity experience in lieu of a degree,' so the degree requirement is set to None.
DoD 8570 IAT Level III / DoW 8140 (511) Advanced certification is required; CISSP is given as the example certification and is captured as the representative must-have credential.
UEBA and SOAR are called out in the role framing as the primary implementation focus ('lead the critical UEBA and SOAR implementation') and are treated as hard gates even though they appear in the narrative rather than a bullet list.
Splunk telemetry integration, workflow engineering, and tuning are aspects of the core Splunk requirement rather than separate named tools, so they are folded into the Splunk skill rather than emitted separately.
Scripting/programming languages (Bash, Python, Java, Perl, .NET) are listed under Preferred Qualifications with an 'e.g.' qualifier; Bash is used as the primary name with the others as alternatives.
Zero Trust familiarity (DoW & NSA guidance) is listed under Preferred Qualifications.
All Splunk certifications listed are under Preferred Qualifications and are not emitted as separate skills since they are credential preferences rather than named technologies.
The alternative occupation code 15-1299 reflects that this role has a strong Splunk engineering/administration dimension that could also be classified as a specialized computer occupation; 15-1212 wins because the primary framing is cybersecurity analysis, UEBA/SOAR, and Zero Trust security operations.
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.
