Why we read it this way (8)

The job title is 'Cybersecurity Architect Advisor' with no explicit seniority level word; the title states no level accordingly. The 10+ years requirement and global enterprise architect scope support a Senior classification.

SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is primarily security architecture and design (15-1212), but the heavy infrastructure and cloud engineering depth (Terraform, Kubernetes, CI/CD, VMware, Cisco, F5) creates some overlap with 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) as a catch-all for enterprise/security architects. 15-1212 was chosen because security strategy, threat modeling, and control design are the primary day-to-day activities.

The salary range ($127,500–$204,000/year) is explicitly stated to apply to New Jersey and New York employees; pay may differ in other states. The posting does not specify a single city, so the NY-NJ-PA metro CBSA is used as the best match.

The role is on-site Monday through Friday; remote work is not offered.

A Bachelor's degree in a related field is listed as required, but the posting explicitly accepts 'equivalent professional or military experience' as a substitute, so the degree requirement is set to None.

Certifications (CISSP, CCSP, SABSA, TOGAF, AWS Certified Security – Specialty, Azure Security Engineer, GCP Professional Cloud Security Engineer) are explicitly labeled 'preferred' in the posting.

Zero Trust, SASE, and Identity Fabric are listed under the 'great to have' (preferred) section.

YAML/JSON are mentioned alongside Terraform and Python/Bash in the required section but represent data serialization formats rather than standalone named tools; they are omitted per the generic-concept rule. The substantive technologies from that same sentence (Terraform, Git, CI/CD, Python/Bash, Kubernetes) are captured.
