Why we read it this way (7)
The role is titled 'Enterprise Security Architect for Artificial Intelligence' with no explicit seniority level in the title; advertised seniority is set to Unspecified. However, the posting describes it as a 'senior individual contributor position' in the body text, and the 15+ years requirement and scope clearly support a Senior classification.
SOC classification is Medium confidence. The role is primarily a security architecture function (15-1212 Information Security Analysts) but has a strong architecture/design dimension that could also fit 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) given the hybrid IAM + AI security focus not cleanly covered by a single code.
The 5+ years in AI security architecture is stated as a sub-requirement within the 15+ years overall cybersecurity experience gate — both are captured accordingly.
Certifications (CISSP, CISM, CIAM, CDPSE, cloud security certs, AI security certs) are listed under 'Preferred certifications' and are marked as preferred.
Cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) appear only in the context of preferred security certifications, not as standalone required technical skills — marked preferred.
Regulatory frameworks (GLBA, SOX, FFIEC, PCI-DSS, NYDFS, OCC, GDPR, CCPA, EU AI Act) are referenced as compliance knowledge requirements; GDPR, CCPA, and EU AI Act are captured as preferred given they appear in a broader compliance narrative rather than a hard-gated list.
Bachelor's degree is listed as 'or equivalent experience,' so the degree requirement is set to None.
