Why we read it this way (7)
The title 'Kubernetes Platform Infrastructure Architect' carries no seniority level word, so advertised seniority is Unspecified; the 10+ years requirement and scope of the role support a Senior classification.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is primarily an enterprise infrastructure architect (design, PoC, advisory) rather than a software developer or a pure systems admin — 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is the best fit, with 15-1252 (Software Developers) as a plausible runner-up given the platform engineering framing.
Kubernetes platform experience (EKS, AKS, Red Hat OpenShift/OPP, Rancher) is listed under Required Skills; EKS is used as the primary skill name with the others captured as alternatives since the posting treats them as interchangeable examples of the same requirement.
VMware Cloud Foundation experience is described as 'highly beneficial' in one place but is also the central technical subject of the Required Skills section; it is treated as a hard gate given the role's explicit VCF focus.
Certifications (VCP-VCF, VCAP-NV, CCIE/CCNP, CKA/CKAD, RHCA/RHCE) are described as 'highly desirable' — listed as preferred accordingly.
Bachelor's degree is listed but equivalent practical experience is explicitly accepted, so the degree requirement is set to None.
Vertical industry specialization (Financial Services, Telecommunications) and thought leadership in SDDC are called 'a strong plus' — these are soft/domain skills with no specific technology name and are omitted per extraction rules.
