Why we read it this way (7)
The posting lists multiple work locations as acceptable: Pittsburgh PA, Cleveland OH (preferred), Birmingham AL, Phoenix AZ, Denver CO, and Dallas TX. Pittsburgh is used as the primary CBSA here, but candidates may be based in any of those metros.
The role is explicitly in-office (PNC states it is 'an in-office company'); remote=false is set accordingly.
The 'Work Experience' section states 'industry relevant experience is typically 8+ years,' which drives the overall years minimum of 8. The separate 'Qualifications' block says '5+ years of experience in IT architecture preferred' — that is framed as preferred, so the firmer 8-year figure from the Work Experience section is used.
A Bachelor's degree is listed as the minimum education level in the formal 'Education' field; the posting also notes 'in lieu of a degree, a comparable combination of education, job specific certification(s), and experience may be considered,' but the hard-stated minimum is a Bachelor's.
All technical skills appear under 'Technical Skills,' 'Preferred Skills,' or the competencies/preferred-skills narrative — none are placed under a hard-gate 'Required' heading. They are therefore marked as preferred.
TOGAF and Machine Learning appear only in the 'Preferred Skills' and 'Competencies' sections of the formal job description boilerplate, not in the main technical requirements block.
The SOC classification as 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) reflects the role's primary focus on solution architecture, requirements analysis, design artifacts (UML, BPMN), and stakeholder engagement rather than hands-on software development. 15-1299 is noted as a runner-up given the architect framing.
