What the occupation pays Median $158,337 (middle half $126,441–$180,105).

Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Aug 11, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (7)

WebLogic, JBoss, and Apache Tomcat are listed together as middleware examples in a single required-qualifications bullet; WebLogic is used as the primary skill name with the others captured as alternatives.

Oracle Cloud (OCI) IaaS/PaaS experience is listed under Required Qualifications as 'desired,' but Oracle Visual Builder Studio/APEX and OCI certifications appear under Preferred Qualifications — all three are marked preferred.

AI technologies for software development and data engineering experience (data validations, business rules, data transformations) appear under Preferred Qualifications but name no specific tools, so they are omitted per the no-generic-concepts rule.

A Master's degree is listed as preferred, not required; the hard gate is a Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, or a related technical discipline.

Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Oracle Visual Builder Studio.

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.

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