Why we read it this way (7)
This is a contract engagement with a stated duration of 5+ months and an ASAP start date.
The role title is 'App Dev Architect' with no explicit seniority level in the title, hence advertised seniority is Unspecified. The 10+ years total / 5+ years architecture requirements and team-lead scope support a Senior classification; the team-lead and mentoring duties (4–6 engineers) create a genuine ambiguity with 11-3021 (Computer and Information Systems Managers), but the JD emphasizes hands-on architecture and coding over people management, so 15-1252 is the primary code.
AWS EKS and AWS Service Mesh are listed under 'highly preferred' / 'proven familiarity … is highly preferred', with Azure/GCP equivalents explicitly accepted — marked as preferred accordingly.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree … or equivalent work experience required'; because equivalent experience is accepted, the degree requirement is set to None.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
