Advertised as Principal, but the requirements read as Senior.
We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (6)
The posting is almost entirely domain/methodology-focused (enterprise architecture strategy, roadmaps, standards, TCO/ROI analysis) with no specific named technologies, platforms, tools, or frameworks called out anywhere. As a result, the skills list reflects the concrete, named capabilities that can be extracted — all others are responsibilities or soft skills that do not map to a specific tool.
SOC classification is uncertain: Enterprise Architect roles sit between 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other — the closest BLS match for architects without a dominant technical specialty) and 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts, which covers systems-level analysis and design). 15-1299 is used as primary given the explicit 'architecture' framing and org-wide scope.
The title framing is 'principal architecture role' per the company description, so advertised seniority is Principal. However, the minimum experience gate is 6 years (10+ preferred), which supports a Senior band — a long experience preference alone does not elevate to Staff or Principal.
The salary range of $140,000–$200,000/year is stated explicitly in the posting, along with eligibility for a discretionary incentive award.
Location is inferred as Minneapolis-St. Paul metro based on Cargill's headquarters in Minnetonka, MN and the explicit mention of Minnesota Sick and Safe Leave accruals. The posting does not explicitly state a work location or confirm remote eligibility.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): enterprise architecture, architecture roadmap development, total cost of ownership analysis.
