Why we read it this way (7)
The role is titled 'Cloud Architect' with no explicit seniority level in the title, so advertised seniority is Unspecified; however, the 8+ years requirement and lead/senior-advisor framing clearly support a Senior classification.
AWS and Azure appear together in the required qualifications as interchangeable options ('AWS, Azure, or hybrid cloud environments') — they are captured as a mutual-alternative pair, each marked required.
Public trust clearance is required (ability to obtain and retain), but this is not a national security clearance (Confidential/Secret/TS), so the clearance requirement is set to None per schema guidance.
The 'Desired Technical Skills' section is a mixed list that overlaps with both required and preferred qualifications. Skills appearing only in that section without firm gating language are treated as preferred. Skills already gated in the Required Qualifications block (AWS/Azure, FedRAMP, RMF) retain their required status.
SOC 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used for Enterprise/Cloud Architect roles, which do not map cleanly to a single standard SOC; 15-1252 (Software Developers) is the closest runner-up given the design and engineering emphasis.
Generic concepts from the Desired Technical Skills list — API Architecture, Data Integration, Microservices, Systems Engineering, Enterprise Architecture — are omitted as they name disciplines rather than specific tools or technologies.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): NIST SP 800-53.
