Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.

What the occupation pays Median $121,586 (middle half $89,036–$154,361). 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 Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (9)

The posting title is 'Cyber Security Engineer II', where 'II' signals a mid-level position; the 2-year minimum experience requirement and scope of responsibilities are consistent with a Mid-level band.

An active TS/SCI clearance is explicitly required from day 1 — candidates without an existing active clearance are not eligible.

The degree requirement is listed as a STEM degree with 2+ years of experience OR an advanced degree in a related field; because equivalent experience is accepted in lieu of a bachelor's degree, the degree requirement is set to None.

DoD 8570 IAT Level II certification is a hard gate; CISSP and Security+ are listed as examples ('e.g.'), so Security+ is captured as an alternative to CISSP rather than a separate required skill.

The role is classified primarily as Information Security (15-1212) given its focus on cyber risk posture, information assurance, and security engineering; 15-1244 (Systems Administration) is a plausible runner-up given the heavy sysadmin responsibilities on Linux/Windows.

The salary range ($68,900–$131,100/year) is described as spanning all experience levels, so it is wider than typical for a single band.

Enterprise logging/SIEM and secure messaging are called out as domain areas in the required section but name no specific product; they are omitted from the skills list as they lack a concrete, canonical tool name.

Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): DoD 8570 IAT Level II.

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.
