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 $129,180 (middle half $97,810–$163,500).
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)
Location is not specified in the posting beyond 'across 20+ states'; no CBSA could be determined. The company is headquartered in the Northern Virginia area (703 area code), but the role's specific work location is not stated.
The degree requirement lists a Bachelor's in a technical field OR 'an equivalent combination of education, certifications, and experience,' so no hard degree gate is set.
The IAM Level II (DoD 8570.01-M) certification is explicitly required prior to start date and is treated as a hard gate.
ACAS, HBSS, Carbon Black, Tanium, RedSeal, and EMET appear in the Duties & Responsibilities narrative as tools the role will administer — they are not listed under a formal 'Required' heading. They are listed again under Preferred Qualifications, confirming their preferred (not required) status.
CISSP, CAP, GSLC, and CISM are listed under Preferred Qualifications as interchangeable advanced certifications.
A Counterintelligence (CI) Polygraph is listed as an ability-to-obtain item under Clearance Requirements, not as a current hard gate; the active TS/SCI is the hard clearance requirement.
The alternative occupation code 15-1299 is noted as a runner-up given the role's blend of cybersecurity engineering, RMF/accreditation, and network defense operations, though 15-1212 best captures the primary day-to-day work.
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.
