Why we read it this way (6)
The role is a Solutions Architect — primarily a pre-sales/customer-advisory function — which sits most naturally at 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts). The alt code 15-1252 is noted because the JD references software development experience and hands-on architecture work, but the day-to-day emphasis is on customer engagement, cloud adoption strategy, and technical advisory rather than building software.
The Basic Qualifications list '10+ years of specific technology domain areas' as the overall experience gate; this is captured as the overall years minimum. The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, mathematics or equivalent' — because equivalent experience is explicitly accepted, the degree requirement is set to None.
AWS is listed as a required skill by strong inference from the role context (AWS Solutions Architect at AWS, with explicit requirements around cloud computing and technology roadmaps); cloud computing is the explicit domain gate in the Basic Qualifications.
Distributed systems, automation/workflow management, and database design all appear under Preferred Qualifications and are marked accordingly.
The posting does not specify remote eligibility; the location is listed as New York, NY, so remote is set to false.
Compensation is stated as a base salary range of $201,000–$272,000 annually, with additional sign-on and RSUs noted but not quantified.
