Why we read it this way (9)
The role is titled 'Solutions Architect' but the job description body describes it as a 'Technical Solutions Consultant' — the GCUL-specific framing and responsibilities (owning technical relationships, leading POCs, creating enablement materials, representing at industry events) align most closely with a pre-sales/solutions architecture function at the intersection of consulting and systems analysis. 15-1211 was chosen as the primary SOC; 15-1299 is the runner-up given the specialized Web3/blockchain focus.
The posting lists multiple possible locations (Atlanta, Austin, Boulder, Chicago, New York) with no single primary site indicated; Atlanta is listed first and used as the representative metro.
Bachelor's degree is listed as a minimum qualification but the JD explicitly accepts 'equivalent practical experience' in lieu of a degree, so the degree requirement is set to None.
The 7-year experience requirement is stated against 'technical consulting, systems architecture, or integration within the Financial Services Industry' — a role-level gate, not tied to a specific technology.
Reading/writing code in Java, C++, or Python is listed as a minimum qualification framed as 'either system design or reading code (e.g., Java, C++, Python)' — treated as a single interchangeable requirement with Java as the primary and C++/Python as alternatives.
Blockchain/DLT experience is a hard gate under minimum qualifications; smart contracts (coding and deploying secure smart agreements), zero-knowledge proofs, and encryption appear only under preferred qualifications.
Payments/settlement/digital asset experience is a hard gate under minimum qualifications; knowledge of domestic/cross-border payments regulations appears only under preferred qualifications.
The compensation figure of $183,000–$266,000 is stated as base salary; the posting also notes a 20% bonus target and equity, which are not captured in the comp fields.
The 'Advanced' experience level label in the posting header corresponds to Google's internal leveling and is consistent with the Senior band assessed here.
