Why we read it this way (6)
This is a Solutions Architect / pre-sales technical advisory role at AWS, which sits between 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) and 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts). Neither code is a perfect fit: the role is customer-facing architecture consulting with a revenue/sales component rather than pure internal systems analysis or pure software development.
The three experience requirements in Basic Qualifications overlap significantly (8+ years in a technology domain, 3+ years design/implementation/consulting, 10+ years IT development or consulting). The highest floor — 10+ years — is used as the overall years minimum.
AI/ML frameworks are called out explicitly in the body of the posting as a required depth area ('technical breadth complemented by technical depth in AI/ML Frameworks, or MLOps'), so AI/ML is treated as a hard gate; MLOps is listed as an alternative depth area and is marked preferred.
Infrastructure architecture, database architecture, and networking (5+ years) appear under Preferred Qualifications, as does experience architecting/operating solutions built on AWS — those are marked preferred accordingly.
Compensation is quoted as a base salary range for Dallas, TX; the posting also mentions sign-on payments and RSUs as additional components.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): cloud architecture, infrastructure architecture, database architecture.
