Why we read it this way (13)

The role is titled 'IAM Architect' with no explicit seniority level in the title; the level advertised in the title is therefore Unspecified. However, the combination of 4+ years in IAM/security architecture, architecture ownership, and client-facing delivery leadership supports a Senior classification.

The primary SOC is 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) given the IAM/security architecture focus; 15-1299 is noted as a runner-up because IAM Architect is a specialized role that doesn't map perfectly to any single SOC — it blends security analysis with solution architecture.

The role is tied to multiple Deloitte US Delivery Center locations (Gilbert AZ, Lake Mary FL, Mechanicsburg PA) and Geo-Hub cities (Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas, Houston, Philadelphia); no single CBSA code applies.

An active Secret clearance is explicitly required ('Active Secret Clearance required') — this is a hard gate.

The 3+ years requirement applies to IAM platform implementation (SailPoint, Ping, Okta, or ForgeRock); these are listed as interchangeable alternatives, so they are captured as one skill with alternatives.

The 4+ years figure (IAM/security operations/security architecture) is used as the overall years minimum as the highest stated overall experience gate.

The 2+ years requirement for authentication, authorization, cloud environments, and directory services is captured on 'directory services' as the most concrete named technology in that clause; cloud environments and authentication/authorization are covered by other skills.

CISSP, CCSP, CISA, and CISM are listed under Preferred and are captured as a single skill with alternatives since the posting treats them as interchangeable certifications.

AWS and Azure are listed under Preferred with a 2+ year requirement; captured as one skill (AWS) with Azure as an alternative.

Splunk and LogRhythm are listed under Preferred as interchangeable SIEM tools.

Ansible and Python are listed under Preferred as interchangeable automation technologies.

No compensation figures are stated in the posting beyond a reference to a discretionary annual incentive program.

Requires a Secret clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
