Why we read it this way (8)
Livefront is headquartered in Minneapolis, MN; the posting does not explicitly state remote eligibility, so remote is marked false. Candidates should confirm work location expectations during the hiring process.
The title 'Solutions Architect' carries no explicit seniority level word, so advertised seniority is Unspecified. However, the 7–10 year experience requirement and the breadth of hands-on + leadership responsibilities support a Senior classification.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is titled Solutions Architect and spans architecture design, hands-on implementation, DevOps, API design, and client consulting — a genuine hybrid. 15-1252 (Software Developers) was chosen because the JD emphasizes hands-on building and implementation alongside design; 15-1299 is noted as a runner-up given the consulting/architecture framing.
Scripting is listed as a hard requirement with Unix shell as the primary example and Ruby/Perl as named alternatives; these are captured as alternatives on a single skill rather than separate entries.
'Mobile and web applications' are listed together as a single required experience area; native languages and core frameworks are mentioned but no specific ones are named, so no individual framework skills are emitted.
Go, Rust, Alexa, and Unity appear only under the 'Bonus points if you…' section and are marked preferred. Alexa is omitted as it names a platform/ecosystem rather than a concrete technology skill in this context; Go, Rust, and Unity are retained as named technologies.
Technical diagramming, public speaking/writing, and releasing personal products appear under 'Bonus points' and are soft skills or activities rather than named technologies — omitted per extraction rules.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): API design, mobile application development, web application development.
