Why we read it this way (9)
The posting title is 'Principal Solution Architect, Expert Services' but the actual scope — senior technical advisor on customer engagements, delivery leadership across multiple programs, deep hands-on architecture — is consistent with a Senior-level individual contributor rather than a true org-wide Principal. The 'Principal' title here appears to be a customer-facing seniority label common in professional services, not an indication of org-wide technical authority.
No work location is specified in the posting. The role appears to be US-based given the Siemens/Mendix US context and EEO/California Privacy disclosures, but no city, state, or explicit remote policy is stated. CBSA and state fields are left blank accordingly.
Compensation is noted only as 'Range is OTE' with no figures provided.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role blends solution architecture, consulting delivery leadership, and hands-on graph/AI implementation. 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) best fits the primary day-to-day work of translating business requirements into enterprise architectures and leading customer implementations; 15-1299 is the runner-up given the specialized agentic AI and knowledge graph focus.
The Bachelor's degree requirement is a hard gate per the Required Qualifications section. An advanced degree is listed under Preferred Qualifications only.
Graph query languages (SPARQL, Cypher, Gremlin) are listed as a single requirement with 'ideally including' framing, but they appear in the Required Qualifications section — captured as one skill with alternatives. The 'ideally' qualifier softens the specific language but not the underlying graph query capability requirement.
Mendix appears in the Required Qualifications section as part of the solution stack ('leveraging Intelligence Center X, AI Studio, Mendix, Graph') and is referenced throughout as a core platform, so it is treated as a hard gate.
Cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) appear only under Preferred Qualifications.
Ignored 4 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): knowledge graph architecture, ontology design, semantic data modeling, enterprise architecture.
