Why we read it this way (7)
SOC classification is genuinely ambiguous: the role is titled 'Director' and involves leading cross-functional teams and vendor relationships, which pulls toward 11-3021 (Computer and Information Systems Managers), but the JD emphasizes hands-on solution architecture, AI/ML delivery, and platform development as primary day-to-day work, which pulls toward 15-1299. 15-1299 was chosen as the primary code because the posting stresses technical delivery and architecture over people management, but confidence is Low.
Advertised as 'Director' — a title that typically implies senior leadership/management scope — but the actual requirements (5+ years, IC-style delivery work) support a Senior band rather than Staff or Principal.
Cloud platform requirement lists Azure, AWS, and GCP as interchangeable options; Azure is listed first and used as the primary skill name with the others as alternatives.
Data Lakes appear in the required stack alongside Databricks and ETL pipelines but are a general concept rather than a named product; they are omitted per skill-naming rules.
GenAI and LLMs appear only under Preferred Qualifications and are marked accordingly.
No compensation figures are disclosed; the posting describes only 'highly competitive' base salary, performance bonus, and equity — no numeric range provided.
Relocation to the greater Chicago area is explicitly required; the role is not remote.
