Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Aug 1, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (6)
The Bachelor's degree requirement explicitly allows equivalent experience as a substitute, so no minimum degree is flagged.
The posting lists 'IBM z/OS, IDMS, Oracle, Cognos, Broadcom Endevor, Production Operations, System Integration' as a single run-on line under Qualifications with no further distinction; all named technologies are treated as required gates. 'Production Operations' and 'System Integration' are generic responsibilities rather than named tools and are omitted from the skills list.
Clearance is listed as 'Ability to obtain Public Trust' — this is a suitability determination, not a formal US security clearance level, so the clearance requirement is set to None.
Large-scale financial or ERP systems and federal enterprise environments are listed under Preferred and are marked accordingly.
The role is described as remote or hybrid, but given the federal/mission-critical nature and core hours requirement, remote=false is set; the posting does not confirm fully remote eligibility.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role primarily operates and maintains an existing IBM mainframe environment (favoring 15-1244), but the scope of technical leadership, integration, and release management introduces some overlap with systems analysis (15-1211).
