What the occupation pays Median $99,130 (middle half $78,010–$126,640).

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's primary day-to-day work is operating and maintaining enterprise/data center network infrastructure (routing, switching, monitoring, troubleshooting), which maps to 15-1244. However, the design and architecture responsibilities (BGP/OSPF architecture, large-scale DC network design) are meaningful and could support 15-1241 (Computer Network Architects) as a runner-up.

SolarWinds and Cisco Catalyst Center are listed together as examples of network management/monitoring tools ('such as'), so they are treated as interchangeable alternatives for that preferred skill rather than separate hard gates.

Cloud networking is listed under Required Qualifications but is stated broadly ('experience with cloud networking and hybrid network architectures') with no specific platform named — no cloud provider alternatives could be inferred from the posting.

No compensation, degree requirement, or employment type is stated in the posting.
