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 role blends cloud software development (designing/building cloud apps, IaC, CI/CD) with infrastructure/platform work (hybrid cloud, networking, VPC, multi-enclave environments), making it a genuine hybrid between 15-1252 Software Developers and 15-1244 Systems Administrators. The primary emphasis on writing and shipping cloud software and automation code tips it to 15-1252.
The clearance requirement is an active Top Secret with eligibility for SCI and a CI polygraph — this is a hard gate explicitly stated in both the body and the Required Qualifications section.
AWS GovCloud, SC2S, and C2S are listed together as a single proficiency requirement; SC2S and C2S are captured as alternatives since any one of these classified AWS cloud platforms satisfies the requirement.
Python, .NET, and C# appear together under Preferred Qualifications as interchangeable development language options.
Monitoring and logging solutions are required but no specific tool is named in the Required section; Elasticsearch and Splunk are named only under Preferred Qualifications and are marked accordingly.
Cloud certifications (AWS CSA, AWS DevOps Engineer) are explicitly called 'preferred' and are marked as such.
No compensation figures are 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.
