Why we read it this way (7)
The title 'Solution Architect' carries no explicit seniority level word, so the title states no level; however, the requirements (10+ years, $50M+ program lead experience, TS/SCI with Polygraph) firmly support a Senior classification.
An active TS/SCI with Polygraph is an explicit hard gate stated in the 'What You Must Have' section.
The role sits at the intersection of technical architecture, proposal/capture work, and business development — a genuine hybrid. 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) was chosen as the primary SOC because the dominant day-to-day work is translating customer requirements into technical solution architectures and proposals, rather than hands-on software development. 15-1299 is noted as a runner-up given the solution-architect framing.
Space domain awareness and GEOINT technology providers are listed as required ('What You Must Have'); NGA/NRO/COCOM experience and remote sensing are listed under 'What Would be Nice to Have' and are marked preferred accordingly.
The pay range is explicitly labeled as the Virginia range; the role appears Virginia-based (GRVTY is headquartered in the DC metro area), so the CBSA is set to Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV.
US citizenship is a hard gate stated in 'What You Must Have' but is not a named technology or tool, so it is captured via the clearance requirement field (TS/SCI with Polygraph) rather than as a skill.
Requires a TS/SCI clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
