Why we read it this way (8)
The role is titled 'ProServe Cloud Architect' with no explicit seniority level in the title; the title states no level. The 7+ year requirements and scope support a Senior classification.
The database requirement lists 'SQL, NoSQL, Hadoop, Spark, Kafka, Kinesis' as examples within a single 5+ year gate. SQL/NoSQL are the primary named pair; Hadoop, Spark, Kafka, and Kinesis are emitted as separate required skills since they are distinct named technologies listed in the same required gate, not interchangeable substitutes for one another.
The cloud requirement states 'AWS or equivalent' with 3+ years — AWS is the primary name with Azure and GCP as alternatives.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree, OR 7+ years of professional or military experience' — equivalent experience is explicitly accepted, so the degree requirement is set to None.
Multiple US locations are listed (Denver CO, Tampa FL, Arlington VA, Herndon VA, Seattle WA); the primary CBSA is set to Washington-Arlington-Alexandria given the DoD/national security customer focus and two Virginia locations listed.
An active TS/SCI clearance with polygraph is a hard gate per the opening paragraph and Basic Qualifications.
AWS Professional-level certification and DoD/national security customer experience appear under Preferred Qualifications only.
Requires a TS/SCI clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
