Why we read it this way (7)
The role is posted across three metros (Santa Monica/LA, Dallas TX, and Arlington VA) at the same salary band ($153,600–$207,800/year). The LA CBSA is used as the primary location; Dallas (19100) and Arlington/DC (47900) are equally valid.
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the day-to-day work is pre-sales/enterprise solution architecture — assessing portfolios, designing cloud architectures, and advising executives — which maps most closely to Computer Systems Analysts (15-1211). However, the role also involves hands-on architecture design and proofs of concept, which overlaps with Software Developers (15-1252); that code is listed as the runner-up.
The Basic Qualifications list three overlapping experience requirements (8+ years in a technology domain, 3+ years design/implementation/consulting, 10+ years IT development or consulting). The highest floor — 10 years — is used for total years of experience.
Cloud computing and AWS are treated as hard gates: they are central to every stated responsibility and the role is explicitly within AWS's sales/solutions org. They do not appear under a named 'Required' heading but are unambiguously gating given the role's nature.
Infrastructure architecture, database architecture, and networking appear only under 'Preferred Qualifications' and are marked accordingly.
No specific degree is required; the posting encourages candidates with non-traditional paths to apply.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): infrastructure architecture, database architecture.
