Why we read it this way (9)
This is a pre-sales / solution architecture role focused on designing and winning Application Managed Services (AMS) outsourcing deals, not a hands-on engineering or delivery role. No single SOC code fits cleanly: 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the best available catch-all; 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is the closest runner-up given the consultative, architecture, and business-translation work.
The posting lists no specific work location — compensation ranges are provided for several states (CA, CO, MA, NY, WA, DC) but no single metro is identified as the primary base. The role requires 30–50% travel, suggesting it is not fully remote despite no office being named.
The base compensation range shown ($179,760–$341,520/year) is the general US figure; state-specific ranges go up to $215,640–$409,800 in California (SF Bay Area) and New York City.
The required qualifications section lists 'deep knowledge of SDLC, ITIL, DevSecOps, SRE, cloud-native architectures, application modernization, and enterprise application landscapes' as a single compound requirement — each named domain is extracted as a separate required skill.
Agentic AI, AIOps, observability, LLMs, RAG, AI orchestration, and policy as code all appear under the 'Preferred Qualifications' heading and are marked accordingly.
A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field is explicitly required; a Master's is stated as preferred and is not treated as a hard gate.
The 10+ years figure is tied to 'enterprise Application Managed Services experience' — a role-level requirement captured in total years, not a per-technology demand.
The title 'Solution Architect' carries no seniority modifier, so advertised seniority is Unspecified; the scope (10+ years, multi-million-dollar pursuits, executive engagement) supports a Senior classification.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): cloud-native architecture, AI orchestration.
