Rare in this occupation — lead with these, and say what you built with them.
What the occupation pays Median $131,346 (middle half $103,068–$165,276). This posting is about at that midpoint.
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 (7)
The role is classified as a back-end developer but has a heavy infrastructure-as-code and cloud provisioning focus (Terraform, AWS PaaS, Crossplane), making it a genuine hybrid between 15-1252 Software Developers and 15-1244 Network/Systems Admins; 15-1252 was chosen because the JD emphasizes writing code, building custom tools/systems, and software engineering experience as the primary gate.
The experience requirement is tiered: 4+ years with a Bachelor's degree OR 8+ years with a HS diploma/GED. The overall years minimum is set to 4 (the lower bound). No specific degree is hard-required because equivalent experience is explicitly accepted.
Secret clearance is a hard gate; TS/SCI is listed under 'Nice If You Have' and is therefore preferred.
DoD 8570/8140 IAT Level II Certification must be obtained within 30 days of hire — not a pre-hire hard gate on holding the cert, but candidates should be aware of this post-hire obligation.
Load balancing is mentioned as a required network technology knowledge area but names no specific product, so it was not emitted as a named skill.
Azure Landing Zones and Azure Virtual Desktop are listed under 'Nice If You Have'; Azure broadly covers the Azure-related preferred skills.
Requires a 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.
