Why we read it this way (7)
The role blends cloud application architecture (15-1252) with significant data platform and data engineering responsibilities (15-1243 — data lakes, ETL/ELT, Medallion Architecture, Redshift, Glue, EMR). 15-1252 was chosen as primary because the posting equally emphasizes cloud-native application design, microservices, serverless, and DevOps automation alongside the data engineering work.
The AWS services listed in the Required section (S3, Redshift, Lambda, Glue, Step Functions, IAM, VPC, KMS, EMR, Athena, SageMaker, Kafka/MSK) are treated as required because they appear under 'Required Skills & Qualifications' as illustrative examples of the AWS knowledge demanded — the 'e.g.' qualifier means the specific tools are interchangeable, but deep AWS service knowledge is a hard gate.
Kafka and MSK are listed together as a single requirement (Kafka/MSK); MSK is captured as an alternative since they serve the same streaming function.
Kubernetes and EKS are listed together in the Preferred section; EKS is captured as an alternative.
AWS Solutions Architect certification (Associate or Professional) is listed under Preferred Qualifications and is not captured as a skill since it is a credential rather than a named technology.
No compensation range was stated in the posting.
The title carries no explicit seniority level; advertised seniority is Unspecified. The scope and responsibilities (enterprise architecture leadership, mentoring, cross-team influence) support a Senior classification.
