Why we read it this way (8)
The role is a pre-sales/customer-facing Solutions Architect at AWS, sitting at the intersection of technical consulting and business strategy — closer to 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) than 15-1252 (Software Developers), though the posting does reference hands-on building of agentic AI workflows and reference architectures, making 15-1252 a plausible runner-up.
The posting lists three overlapping experience requirements under Basic Qualifications: 8+ years in a technology domain, 3+ years of design/implementation/consulting, and 10+ years of IT development or consulting. The highest floor (10 years) is used for the overall years minimum.
No specific degree is required; the posting does not gate on a formal credential.
Infrastructure architecture, database architecture, and networking (5+ years) appear under Preferred Qualifications only.
Generative AI and Agentic AI are heavily emphasized throughout the responsibilities and day-in-the-life sections as core to the role, but no specific AI/ML framework or tool (e.g., SageMaker, Bedrock, LangChain) is explicitly named as a hard gate in the requirements sections — they are treated as required capabilities at the concept level rather than named-tool gates.
The posting names CPG-domain workloads (ERP, trade promotion systems, supply chain, digital commerce) as context for the role but does not gate on specific platforms (e.g., SAP, Salesforce), so no named-tool skills were extracted for those.
Compensation is stated as a base salary range for Chicago, IL; sign-on and RSUs are also mentioned but not quantified.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): infrastructure architecture, database architecture.
