Advertised as Senior, but the requirements read as Mid.
“or” means any one of them counts — you don't need all of them.

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 $125,654 (middle half $96,394–$162,956).
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 (7)
The title says 'Senior' but the hard requirements gate only on 3 years of experience with no senior-level scope indicators (no team leadership, no org-wide architecture ownership), so the actual seniority is assessed as Mid.
The degree requirement lists Computer Science, Engineering, or Information Systems with no 'or equivalent experience' language, so it is treated as a hard Bachelors gate.
Fort Meade, MD falls within the Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, MD CBSA. The client is DISA, which is headquartered at Fort Meade.
Network/security management tools (IBM Netcool, HP IMC, ArcSight, Splunk) are listed under Preferred and framed as 'a plus'; the named tools are treated as interchangeable alternatives for a single preferred skill.
Veeam, GitLab, SCP, and TFTP are all listed under Preferred and framed as 'ability to learn … and/or experience with', making them clearly optional.
The role is primarily Windows Server/Active Directory systems administration supporting a DISA lab environment; 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is noted as a runner-up given the architecture documentation and briefing responsibilities.
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.
