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 (9)
The posting requires a minimum of 2 Salesforce Architect Certifications; this is a hard gate but names no specific certification, so it is not captured as a named skill.
The JD requires 2–3 years of experience in a leadership role (Team Lead or similar); this is a role-level requirement captured in the overall years minimum alongside the 5+ years of Salesforce experience — the 5-year Salesforce figure is the higher and more specific gate.
REST and SOAP are listed together as a single requirement ('REST and SOAP services'); REST is the primary skill with SOAP in alternatives, as they are both named but the requirement is for web services integration broadly.
Visio is listed with 'or comparable drawing tool' — alternatives are not populated because no specific peer tools are named and the category (diagramming tools) is too broad to enumerate meaningfully.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role blends solution architecture/systems analysis (15-1211) with hands-on Salesforce development (Apex, LWC, SOQL), but the emphasis on coding standards, POC builds, and technical design tips toward Software Developers (15-1252).
Degree requirement is listed as 'Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or equivalent' — the 'or equivalent' language means no formal degree is hard-gated.
Financial Services Cloud and Marketing Cloud appear under a 'Preferred' heading and are marked accordingly.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Salesforce Financial Services Cloud.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
