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 (4)

The role is described in very broad terms (mainframe infrastructure, system programming, application development, architecture, tooling) without naming any specific technologies, products, or platforms beyond 'mainframe'. This makes precise skill extraction and SOC classification difficult; 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the best fit for a senior mainframe generalist/technical lead role, with 15-1244 as a runner-up given the infrastructure and systems administration flavor.

The JD gates on direct mainframe experience and the ability to lead a technical team, but the specific mainframe discipline (infrastructure vs. system programming vs. application development) is presented as 'one or more' options — none of the sub-disciplines is individually required.

Experience in the securities or financial services industry is explicitly called 'a plus', so it is not marked as required.

Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Mainframe application development.
