Why we read it this way (5)
The role is titled 'Migration Architect' with no explicit seniority level in the title; advertised seniority is therefore Unspecified, though the requirements (12+ years overall, 6+ years mainframe modernization, enterprise-scale scope) firmly support a Senior classification.
The posting lists multiple US locations (Dallas, Atlanta, Nashville, Chicago, New Jersey) as a hybrid role; Atlanta is used as the primary CBSA per the posting's own location metadata.
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role is framed as enterprise/solution architecture (systems analysis, 15-1211) but also involves hands-on design, building, and migration execution, which overlaps with Software Developers (15-1252). 15-1211 was chosen as the primary because the dominant framing is strategic architecture, target-state design, and advisory work to senior client stakeholders.
The 6+ years of mainframe modernization experience is a role-level requirement tied to a domain, not a named technology, so it is captured in the overall years minimum (12+ years overall) rather than as a per-skill years demanded.
GCP sub-services (BigQuery, Pub/Sub, GKE, Cloud Storage) and DevOps/CI/CD appear in the responsibilities/duties narrative rather than in a distinct required-skills block, so they are marked preferred. The core mainframe technologies and GCP overall are explicitly called out as 'deep expertise' requirements.
