Why we read it this way (8)
The clearance requirement is stated as 'Active Top Secret (TS) with ability to obtain SCI' — the hard gate is an active TS; TS/SCI is listed as something to obtain/maintain, not a current possession requirement. Clearance is coded as TopSecret accordingly.
Platform One, Jira, Confluence, Palantir, and Salesforce appear in the Key Responsibilities section as 'Government-directed enterprise platforms' the architect must work within, making them effectively required context for the role; they are also echoed under Preferred Qualifications for deeper integration experience, which is marked preferred.
The Master's degree requirement is stated as a hard minimum with no 'or equivalent experience' escape clause — the degree requirement is set to Masters.
'Over 10 years' is the stated role-level experience floor; the overall years minimum is set to 10.
AWS/Azure cloud certifications and TOGAF/DoDAF certifications appear only under Preferred Qualifications; the underlying cloud architecture and enterprise architecture skills are required, but the specific certifications are preferred.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): enterprise data architecture, cloud architecture, API design.
Requires a Top 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.
