The SOC classification is a judgement call: the role is a pre-sales/GTM Specialist Solutions Architect — primarily customer-facing consulting, architecture guidance, and technical enablement rather than hands-on software development. 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) best captures the consulting/architecture advisory nature; 15-1252 (Software Developers) is a plausible runner-up given the software engineering and AI implementation emphasis.
The 10+ years IT development/implementation requirement is the binding overall experience gate (the overall years minimum of 10); the 8+ years domain and 3+ years design/consulting requirements are subsumed by it.
Infrastructure architecture, database architecture, and networking (5+ years) appear only under Preferred Qualifications.
No specific degree is required; the JD states no degree requirement at all.
Several skills listed (e.g. 'agentic AI', 'generative AI', 'solutions architecture') are domain capabilities rather than named tools, but they are the explicit, concrete subject-matter gates for this specialist role and are retained as skills accordingly.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): solutions architecture, infrastructure architecture, database architecture.
