Why we read it this way (8)
The job title is 'Solution Architect, Adobe Experience Manager' with no seniority level word in the title, hence advertised seniority is Unspecified. The requirements (5+ years total, 3+ years in a senior AEM architect/lead capacity, org-wide architectural authority) support a Senior classification; the role does not demonstrate genuine cross-org Staff/Principal scope beyond the AEM platform.
The posting states 'Bachelor's degree or higher … or equivalent practical experience', so no hard degree gate is set.
No work location city is explicitly stated in the posting; Subway's global headquarters is in Milford, CT (Bridgeport-Stamford-Norwalk CBSA). The posting notes applicants must be authorized to work in the country the position is based, suggesting an on-site or hybrid arrangement rather than fully remote.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is titled 'Solution Architect' and is heavily architecture/design-focused (patterns, ADRs, platform direction) rather than day-to-day feature development, which could fit 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other). However, the JD emphasizes hands-on platform engineering, component design, and code-level decisions, making 15-1252 the better primary fit.
Adobe Certified Master AEM Architect and Adobe Certified Expert AEM Sites Developer certifications are listed under 'preferred' language and are captured as a single preferred skill with the alternative.
AEM Multi-Site Management (MSM), multi-language rollout, and global content localization are explicitly called 'preferred' in the posting.
Claude (by Anthropic) and GitHub Copilot are listed as AI-assisted tooling required as 'a daily practice' under the main qualifications block; Claude is named first with 'or equivalent' framing, so GitHub Copilot is captured as an alternative.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): AEM Sites as a Cloud Service, AEM Edge Delivery Services, AEM Multi-Site Management.
