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 $132,409 (middle half $111,632–$166,411).
Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Aug 5, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (11)
The posting requires both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree explicitly ('Relevant Bachelor's and Master's degrees') — the degree requirement is set to Masters as the higher of the two.
The clearance requirement is an active TS with in-scope T5/SSBI, SCI eligibility, Continuous Evaluation participation, SAP access, and willingness to undergo a polygraph — this is a hard gate.
Docker and Containers are listed together; Docker is captured as the canonical tool name. 'Containers' as a general concept is not emitted separately.
'Working knowledge of a variety of programming languages' names no specific language and is therefore omitted per the no-generic-concepts rule.
ISSE and ISSM are listed as interchangeable experience options ('as an ISSE and/or ISSM') and are captured with each as an alternative of the other.
JSIG and NIST RMF are listed as interchangeable ('JSIG and or NIST SP 800-37 RMF') and are captured with each as an alternative of the other.
AWS and Azure are listed together as examples of platforms; they are captured as separate skills with each as an alternative of the other since the posting treats them as a set of options rather than both being strictly required simultaneously.
DoD 8140/8570 IAM or IAT Level II Certification, CISSP, SCA experience, and SETA experience all appear under Desired Qualifications and are marked preferred.
The 15-year experience figure appears under Desired Qualifications; the hard gate is 10 years (the overall years minimum of 10).
Travel up to 25% CONUS is required; this role is not remote.
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.
