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

What the occupation pays Median $101,310 (middle half $79,725–$129,425).

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 (5)

Clearance is stated as 'DOE Q, Top Secret or equivalent'; DOE Q clearance is roughly equivalent to a DoD Top Secret, so TopSecret is the appropriate classification.

The cloud environment requirement is stated without naming a specific provider (AWS, Azure, GCP, etc.); it is captured generically as 'Cloud'.

Linux and Unix are listed together as a combined OS requirement alongside Windows (MS); all three are hard-gated in the qualifications section.

No compensation figures are provided in the posting.

Requires a Top 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.
