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 (6)
The posting states 'Bachelors Degree preferred' and 'Security+/CISSP preferred' — neither is a hard gate, so the degree requirement is set to None and the certifications are marked as preferred.
Splunk is listed under requirements as 'preferred' ('Splunk preferred'), so it is marked as preferred despite appearing in the requirements section; the broader SIEM capability is the hard gate.
Clearance language reads 'Ability to obtain then maintain a clearance may be required' — this is conditional rather than a firm gate, but the role explicitly serves a U.S. federal customer and U.S. Citizenship is required, so a clearance gate is likely in practice. Conservatively mapped to Secret given the federal SOC context; actual level is unspecified in the posting.
Location is inferred as the DC/MD/VA metro area based on True Zero Technologies' known headquarters and the 'Mid-Atlantic Region' award callout; no specific city is stated in the posting.
The 6-7+ years requirement is stated at the role level with no specific technology attached, so it is captured as the overall experience minimum (6 years).
Requires a Secret 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.
