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 role blends software integration/test engineering with DevSecOps pipeline work in roughly equal measure, making the SOC classification a genuine judgment call between Software Developers (15-1252) and Software Quality Assurance Analysts and Testers (15-1253). The pipeline-building, tooling development, and infrastructure provisioning duties tipped the classification toward 15-1252.
The degree requirement states a STEM degree plus 5 years, OR an advanced degree plus 3 years, OR equivalent combinations — because equivalent experience is implicitly accepted via the 'or advanced degree' path and the JD does not hard-gate on a specific degree level, degree requirement is set to None.
An active and transferable TS/SCI clearance is explicitly required prior to start date — this is a hard gate.
Container technologies (Kubernetes, Docker, Podman, Helm, ArgoCD, Flux) are listed together as a single required capability; Kubernetes is used as the primary name with Docker and Podman as alternatives on one skill, and Helm and ArgoCD/Flux as separate named tools.
AWS and GCP appear in the required section with AWS noted as preferred; AWS is listed as the primary skill with GCP as an alternative.
NiFi, Kafka, REST, Swagger, Cameo, Gherkin/Cucumber, and test reporting standards (JUnit XML, CTRF, Allure) all appear under Preferred Qualifications.
No compensation figures are stated in the posting beyond a general reference to a pay scale existing; no numeric range was provided.
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.
