Why we read it this way (8)
The Bachelor's degree requirement is soft — the JD explicitly accepts 'commensurate experience' in lieu of a degree, so the degree requirement is set to None.
The clearance gate is 'ability to obtain and maintain a suitability/Public Trust' — this is a Public Trust background investigation, not a formal national-security clearance (Confidential/Secret/TS), so the clearance requirement is set to None. Candidates should be aware a Public Trust suitability determination will be required.
SOC classification is Medium-confidence: the role is titled 'Solutions Architect' and spans cloud architecture, data platform design, and automated provisioning — it sits between Computer Systems Analysts (15-1211) and the broader Computer Occupations catch-all (15-1299). The heavy Databricks/data-lake focus could also argue for 15-1243 (Database/Data Architects), noted as an alternative.
Networking protocol skills (TCP/IP, BGP, OSPF, DNS, VPN) are listed under Required Skills and are marked as required, though they appear more as foundational knowledge than day-to-day duties given the data-platform focus of the role.
Azure Databricks, SQL Server, Azure Synapse, ServiceNow/Jira/SharePoint, TOGAF, and Snowflake all appear under the 'Preferred Skills and Experience' section.
The Computing Environment (CE) certification requirement (AWS, Microsoft, Linux, etc.) is a required credential but names no single specific technology product — it is not emitted as a named skill per extraction rules.
The '12+ years' figure is the stated role-level experience minimum and is captured in the overall years minimum; it does not map to any single named technology.
