Why we read it this way (8)
The posting title references 'Certified Cloud Architect' but explicitly states no certification is required; the actual scope is a senior security engineering and advisory role, not a pure cloud architecture role — hence the classification as Information Security Analysts with Cloud Architecture as a secondary requirement.
The enterprise cyber stack (Google Threat Intel/VirusTotal, Google SecOps, Mandiant ASM, Tenable.io, Azure Arc, GitHub, GitHub Advanced Security, Ansible Tower, Gemini/Anthropic) is listed under 'Top Required Skills' and treated as hard gates. Gemini and Anthropic are listed as an AI security framework pair and emitted as a single skill with Anthropic as an alternative.
Cloud Architecture and DevSecOps are listed together under 'Top Required Skills' as a combined bullet and are treated as required.
Google, Microsoft, AWS, and Splunk appear only under the 'Nice to have Skills' section and are marked preferred. Google Cloud and Azure are listed separately from the required Google SecOps/Azure Arc tools to avoid duplication at the platform level.
The engagement is a 1,800-hour contract over 12 months. No hourly or total compensation figure is stated.
Candidates must be Wisconsin residents or willing to relocate to Wisconsin at their own expense before starting; the role is otherwise 100% remote with 1–2 required onsite visits during the contract term.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Cloud Architecture.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
