Why we read it this way (5)
The role is titled 'ProServe Cloud Architect' with no explicit seniority level in the title; the title states no level. However, the scope — pre-sales solution design, executive stakeholder management, mentoring, and driving SOW signings — clearly supports a Senior-level classification.
Two salary ranges are listed: $210,200–$284,300/yr for San Francisco, CA and $182,800–$247,300/yr for Dallas, TX. The higher San Francisco range is reported here; the Dallas range is $182,800–$247,300/yr.
SOC classification is Medium confidence. The role is primarily a pre-sales/solution-design consulting function (closer to 15-1211 Systems Analyst / Architect) rather than hands-on software development (15-1252), though it involves deep AWS technical guidance. 15-1299 is noted as a runner-up given the 'Cloud Architect' framing.
The Basic Qualifications section lists no specific named technologies beyond SDLC/Agile and compliance frameworks — all named AWS services and specific standards (HIPAA, GDPR, TOGAF, SAP, Oracle) appear only under Preferred Qualifications.
An 'advanced technology degree or AWS Professional level certification' is listed as preferred, not required, so the degree requirement is set to None.
