Why we read it this way (7)
This role is posted across multiple US metros (San Francisco, Santa Clara, Chicago, Dallas, Seattle); Seattle is used as the primary CBSA since it is the last listed and a major AWS hub, but compensation varies by location — the range shown ($153,600–$239,000) spans the lowest (Chicago/Dallas/Seattle) to highest (San Francisco/Santa Clara) figures quoted.
The SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role is a pre-sales/customer-facing Solutions Architect, which sits between Computer Systems Analysts (15-1211, consulting and architecture) and Software Developers (15-1252, hands-on implementation). The day-to-day work — designing architectures, advising customers, producing reference implementations — leans toward 15-1211, but the preferred qualifications explicitly ask for hands-on programming experience.
The 7+ years requirement appears twice in the Basic Qualifications (technology domain experience and IT development/implementation experience); 7 years is used as the overall years minimum.
Programming language experience (.NET, Java, Python) appears only under Preferred Qualifications and is framed as 'at least one' option, so it is treated as preferred with the three named languages listed as alternatives to each other.
AWS Transform, Kiro, and application modernization are mentioned as specific product/domain context for the role but are not stated as candidate requirements in the qualifications sections, so they are not emitted as skills.
No degree is hard-required; the JD lists no degree requirement at all.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): infrastructure architecture, database architecture.
