Why we read it this way (7)
The title 'Architect and Engineer' carries no seniority level word; the title states no level. The 10+ years requirement and scope (incident command, enterprise governance, executive engagement) support a Senior classification — the role does not demonstrate genuine org-wide, cross-team technical authority that would elevate it to Staff or Principal.
SOC classification is Medium confidence. The role is a genuine hybrid: it builds and owns IaC/platform-engineering code (Terraform modules, deployment frameworks, CI/CD — pointing to 15-1252 Software Developers) AND operates/maintains physical data center infrastructure (UPS, cooling, cabling — pointing to 15-1244). The primary day-to-day emphasis on cloud platform engineering and IaC authorship tips the classification to 15-1252, with 15-1244 as the runner-up.
Bachelor's degree is stated as 'preferred,' not required, so the degree requirement is set to None.
The Preferred Experience section lists FinOps frameworks, MSP governance, hybrid identity, NIST/ISO 27001/CIS Controls, and AI infrastructure experience — all marked as preferred.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
The posting explicitly states sponsorship is not available for this permanent full-time role.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): cloud security governance, privileged access management, MSP governance.
