Why we read it this way (7)
The title 'Solutions Architect' is used, but the day-to-day responsibilities (analysis of alternatives, requirements gathering, root cause analysis, process gap assessment, reporting) are squarely Systems Analyst work rather than architecture or software development; 15-1211 is the best fit, with 15-1299 as a runner-up given the hybrid nature.
The degree requirement is effectively waived: the JD accepts '5 years of additional relevant experience' in lieu of a Bachelor's degree, or '3-5 years with relevant certifications in UX software', so the degree requirement is set to None.
Cloud experience (Azure or AWS) is listed under Required Skills; both are named as interchangeable alternatives, so one skill is emitted with the other in alternatives.
Jira appears in both the required section (collaborative tools) and the preferred section (workflow/risk management use); it is captured as required based on its placement in the Required Skills block. The preferred mention adds workflow-management context.
The clearance requirement is 'Ability to obtain and maintain a VA Public Trust clearance' — this is a Public Trust suitability determination, not a national-security clearance (Confidential/Secret/TS), so the clearance requirement is set to None.
Seniority is assessed as Mid: 5 years of experience is required, the role supports (rather than leads) senior technical resources, and the scope is project-level analysis within a defined portfolio — consistent with an independent mid-level contributor rather than a Senior.
Caller marked this a fully-remote role — scored against the national candidate pool.
