How this req sits in the market our data
Rare in this occupation — lead with these, and say what you built with them.
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). 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 Aug 18, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (6)
The bachelor's degree is explicitly stated as 'preferred,' not required — the degree requirement is set to None accordingly.
SALT, Ansible, Splunk, Puppet, SolarWinds, and Nessus are listed in a single required bullet as 'Must have experience with/be familiar with,' which introduces some ambiguity about depth; they are treated as hard gates given the 'Must have' framing.
Red Hat and VMware appear in a required bullet ('Must have experience with and/or have knowledge of'), so both are treated as hard gates despite the softer 'knowledge of' qualifier.
Work locations listed include Maryland, Virginia, Colorado, Texas, Utah, Florida, and Hawaii; the CBSA is set to Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, MD as the company's apparent home base, but the actual assignment location is unspecified.
The alt SOC 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) is noted because the role emphasizes security protocols, Nessus vulnerability scanning, Splunk, and security accreditation support — though the primary day-to-day work described is systems administration.
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.
