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

What the occupation pays Median $103,221 (middle half $83,885–$129,834).

Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Aug 15, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (8)

The degree requirement states a Bachelor's in CS or related field with 10 years of experience, OR 15 years of voice/network experience — equivalent experience is explicitly accepted in lieu of a degree, so the degree requirement is set to None.

The role is classified as 15-1244 (Network and Computer Systems Administrators) rather than 15-1241 (Computer Network Architects) because the day-to-day work is primarily operational administration and troubleshooting of an existing Cisco UC environment, not greenfield architecture design. However, the 'design' responsibility and 'engineer' framing make 15-1241 a plausible runner-up.

SRTP appears in the responsibilities section as a protocol to troubleshoot but is not listed under the Required Qualifications skills block; it is omitted from the required skills accordingly.

Python, JSON, and REST API integration are listed under Preferred Skills and are marked as preferred.

E911 administration is listed under Preferred Skills and is marked as preferred, even though E911 platform support appears in the responsibilities section.

The posting states a 3-year W-2 contract engagement; employment type is set to Contract accordingly.

No compensation figures are provided in the posting.

Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
