This role is posted across multiple US metros with varying salary bands: San Diego/Atlanta/Chicago/Dallas/Herndon/Bellevue $153,600–$207,800; New York $169,000–$228,600; San Francisco/Santa Clara $176,600–$239,000. The comp range reported here spans the full national floor and ceiling.
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role is a Solutions Architect focused on database migration consulting — it sits between Computer Systems Analysts (15-1211, customer-facing technical advisory) and Database Architects (15-1243, deep database design/migration expertise). The primary day-to-day work is customer-facing technical engagement and field enablement, which tips toward 15-1211, but the depth of database migration architecture work is substantial.
The 10+ years figure is the highest stated overall experience gate ('10+ years of IT development or implementation/consulting'); the 8+ years infrastructure/database architecture requirement is also a hard gate but lower.
GenAI developer tools (Claude/Claude CLI and Kiro) appear explicitly in both the Basic Qualifications and job responsibilities as required for building prototypes and demos, so they are treated as hard gates. Claude is listed as the primary name with Kiro as an alternative since they serve the same stated purpose in the JD.
Amazon DSQL is listed as a target database platform in the role description and responsibilities but does not appear as an explicit qualification gate; it is omitted from the skills list as stack context rather than a screened requirement.
The SAP-related preferred qualifications are notably specific (S/4HANA, SAP Cloud Platform, clean core design) and appear to reflect a secondary customer segment this team serves, not a core gate for the role.
Up to ~30% travel is expected per the job description.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): AWS Schema Conversion Tool.
