Why we read it this way (7)
The SOC classification is a genuine judgment call. The role is titled 'Sr. Solutions Architect' on a security services team, blending deep technical architecture (15-1211 Computer Systems Analysts) with security domain expertise (15-1212 Information Security Analysts). The primary day-to-day work — designing and operationalizing AWS security service architectures for enterprise customers — leans toward systems/solutions analysis rather than pure security analysis, so 15-1211 is the primary code, with 15-1212 as a close runner-up.
The posting mentions Los Angeles County and San Francisco in its legal disclosures, but does not explicitly state a primary work location. The LA County reference is treated as the most likely metro; the role may be field-based or partially remote but is not advertised as fully remote.
The Basic Qualifications list three overlapping experience requirements (8+ years in a technology domain, 3+ years in design/implementation/consulting, 10+ years in IT development/consulting). The highest floor — 10 years — is used as the overall years minimum.
AWS Security Hub, GuardDuty, Amazon Inspector, and Amazon Detective are explicitly named in the key responsibilities as services the candidate will architect around; they are treated as hard gates given their prominence in the role's core duties.
Generative AI security and infrastructure/database/networking architecture (5+ years) appear only under Preferred Qualifications and are marked accordingly.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): security architecture, infrastructure architecture.
