Why we read it this way (7)
This role sits at the boundary between Solutions Architecture (15-1211) and hands-on software development (15-1252). The JD explicitly states 'you will write code, build integrations, configure agents, and pair-program with customer engineering teams,' which tips the primary day-to-day work toward 15-1252.
The 7+ years requirement is stated at the domain/technology level ('specific technology domain areas'), which maps to the overall years minimum. The 3+ years of design/implementation/consulting is a secondary gate subsumed by the 7-year requirement.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) and A2A (Agent-to-Agent) are listed under Basic Qualifications with the qualifier 'Familiarity with,' which is softer language than the other basic quals; however, they appear in the required section so they are treated as hard gates.
Python and Node.js are listed together as scripting options ('Python, Node.js') — they are interchangeable for the scripting requirement, so Python is the primary with Node.js as an alternative.
Amazon Connect, Amazon Bedrock, and all specific AWS data services (DynamoDB, RDS, S3, OpenSearch, Kendra) appear under Preferred Qualifications or in the role narrative/stack description, not in the Basic Qualifications block.
The role requires travel of 25–40% for on-site customer engagements; it is not fully remote.
Compensation is quoted as an annual base salary range for Chicago, IL. The package also includes sign-on payments and RSUs, which are not reflected in the min/max figures.
