Why we read it this way (7)
This is a pre-sales Solution Architect role at a technology outsourcing/MSP firm — primarily a technical advisory and solution design function. No single SOC code maps cleanly; 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the best fit for a pre-sales/consulting architect role that spans networking, cybersecurity, and cloud. 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) is the runner-up given the heavy cybersecurity emphasis.
The posting references an 'Immigration Program supporting immigration to Canada,' strongly suggesting this role is Canada-based (or at minimum non-US). No specific city or metro is stated; the US-based flag is set to false accordingly.
The role is described as a 'senior individual contributor' explicitly in the posting, supporting the Senior seniority classification. The title 'Solution Architect' carries no level modifier, so the title states no level.
Certifications (Cisco CCNP Security/Enterprise, PCNSE, PCSAE, Fortinet NSE 6/7, ZCCA-IA/ZCCP-IA) are listed as 'Required (or obtainable within 6 months).' This is a soft gate — candidates without them can still be hired if they obtain them quickly — but they are placed in the required section. They are captured as a single required skill with alternatives reflecting the acceptable options. Highly Desired certifications (CISSP, AWS SA Pro, Azure Solutions Expert, CCIE, ZTCA) are marked preferred.
Vendor names such as Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, Zscaler, CrowdStrike, Microsoft, and Aruba/HPE appear primarily in the 'Vendor & Partner Engagement' responsibilities section and Preferred Qualifications. Only those explicitly called out in Required Qualifications (NGFW, SASE, ZTNA, EDR/XDR, SIEM, SD-WAN, AWS/Azure/GCP) are marked required; vendor brand names appearing only in responsibilities or preferred sections are marked preferred.
No compensation figures are stated in the posting.
