Why we read it this way (7)

The role is a pre-sales/post-sales Cloud Architect within AWS Professional Services — it blends consultative solution design, technical architecture, and sales engagement. 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is the closest fit for the primary day-to-day work of translating business requirements into cloud solution designs; 15-1299 is noted as an alternative given the hybrid pre-sales/architecture nature.

The 7+ years gate is stated as '7+ years of professional or military experience, OR Bachelor's degree' — it is a combined threshold, not a strict years-only requirement. The overall years minimum is set to 7 as the experience path.

The degree requirement is None because the Basic Qualifications accept a Bachelor's degree OR 7+ years of experience as alternatives — neither is a hard gate on its own.

The 5+ years of cloud and on-premise integration experience is listed as a Basic Qualification and treated as a hard gate; it is not tied to a single named technology so it is captured as a skill rather than the overall years minimum.

Enterprise architecture frameworks (TOGAF, Zachman), HIPAA/GDPR compliance knowledge, AWS Professional certification, and pre-sales communication experience all appear under Preferred Qualifications only.

The posting lists Herndon, VA as the primary location with a stated salary range; no explicit remote option is mentioned.

Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): cloud and on-premise integration.
