Why we read it this way (8)

The role is a pre-sales/field Solutions Architect at a VAR/systems integrator (WWT). The primary day-to-day work is translating customer business objectives into technical architecture and strategy — closest to Computer Systems Analysts (15-1211), though it blends pre-sales consulting with deep infrastructure engineering. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is noted as a runner-up given the hybrid pre-sales nature.

The posting lists three Wisconsin metros (Milwaukee, Madison, Appleton); Milwaukee (CBSA 33340) is used as the primary metro since it is listed first and is the largest market. Candidates must be local to one of these three areas.

The 8+ years figure is framed as 'typically' — it is a soft guideline rather than a hard gate, but it is the clearest experience signal in the posting and is used for total years.

A Bachelor's degree is listed as preferred ('or equivalent practical experience'), so the degree requirement is set to None.

Vendor certifications (Dell, VMware/Broadcom, Pure, NetApp, Cisco, Veeam, Azure, AWS) are explicitly called 'a plus' under a certifications line — treated as preferred.

The data center infrastructure sub-domains (storage, compute, backup/data protection, disaster recovery, virtualization, HCI, cloud) and broad IT domains (enterprise networking, next-gen firewalls) are all listed under the core Qualifications block and are treated as hard gates, though the JD acknowledges candidates will have a primary 'focus area' with broad secondary knowledge.

Compensation is base salary only ($150K–$210K/year); the role is also OTE-eligible with additional variable compensation on top of base, per the posting.

Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): backup and data protection.
