Why we read it this way (6)
The title is 'Principal AI Software Architect,' but the scope and experience requirements (7+ years total, 2+ years AI/ML) are consistent with a Senior-level individual contributor rather than a true Principal/org-wide authority. The 'Principal' label appears to be a title convention rather than a reflection of org-wide technical authority.
The cloud platform requirement lists Azure, AWS, and GCP as interchangeable options ('such as'); Azure is listed first and used as the primary skill name with the others as alternatives.
A Bachelor's degree is listed but the JD explicitly states 'equivalent professional experience may be considered,' so the degree requirement is set to None.
Cloud-native architecture and microservices appear only under a 'preferred' qualifier at the end of the posting and are marked accordingly.
The role is classified as Software Developers (15-1252) given its primary focus on architecting and building AI-driven software platforms; Data Scientists (15-2051) is noted as a plausible alternative given the depth of ML/AI emphasis.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): cloud-native architecture.
