Why we read it this way (8)
The role is a Solutions Architect focused on AWS Federal/Public Sector partners — it sits between 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other, which best captures the SA/pre-sales architect function) and 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts); 15-1299 was chosen as the primary because the day-to-day work is designing and advising on cloud architectures rather than internal business-systems analysis.
U.S. Citizenship is explicitly required ('this role requires U.S. Citizenship'), but no specific security clearance level is stated as a hard gate, so the clearance requirement is set to None.
The posting lists three overlapping experience requirements (8+ years in a technology domain, 4+ years in design/implementation/consulting, and 10+ years in IT development/consulting); 10 years is used as the overall years minimum as it is the broadest stated floor.
GenAI is listed under Basic Qualifications as 'Experience in GenAI deployments' — treated as a hard gate. AWS knowledge appears primarily in Preferred Qualifications, but the role is explicitly an AWS Solutions Architect role, making AWS itself an implicit hard requirement.
Infrastructure architecture, database architecture, and networking (5+ years) appear under Preferred Qualifications and are marked accordingly.
Defense sector experience and knowledge of AWS customer base/industry verticals are mentioned only under Preferred Qualifications and are omitted from the skills list as they name no specific technology or tool.
The compensation range ($169,000–$228,600/year) is stated for New York specifically; the posting notes final compensation varies by location.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): infrastructure architecture, database architecture.
