Why we read it this way (10)
The title carries no seniority level word; the title states no level. The requirements (10+ years overall, 5+ years Java, 2+ years as Architect, 3+ years AWS, org-wide architecture governance) support a Senior band — the scope is that of a senior hands-on architect/engineer, not a Staff or Principal role with cross-org authority.
The degree requirement is 'Bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience', so no hard degree gate applies.
Scripting languages (Python, Bash, PowerShell) are listed together as interchangeable examples under a single requirement; Python is used as the primary name with Bash and PowerShell as alternatives.
GitHub Actions is listed alongside CodePipeline and CodeBuild as preferred CI/CD tooling; all three are captured with CodePipeline and CodeBuild as alternatives to GitHub Actions. A general CI/CD skill is also retained as a separate hard gate since the requirement is stated broadly.
The specific AWS services (ECS, EKS, Lambda, EventBridge, S3, DynamoDB, API Gateway, CloudWatch, etc.) are all listed under Minimum Qualifications and are treated as hard gates.
Cloud migration experience (1+ year), AI/ML frameworks exposure, and AWS Associate-level certifications are explicitly flagged 'Nice to have' in the posting.
AWS Professional-level certification appears under Desired Qualifications, a secondary section, and is treated as preferred.
The caller has directed that this be treated as a fully remote, national-pool role; no metro is inferred despite the posting's mention of Atlanta, GA as a base location.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): static analysis.
