We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (6)
The posting is notably light on concrete named technologies — requirements are stated almost entirely as domain concepts (IT infrastructure, software engineering, business analysis, DevOps, security best practices) rather than specific tools or platforms. No programming languages, cloud providers, databases, or frameworks are mentioned anywhere in the JD.
Experience requirement is stated as '8+ years in multiple IT/IS areas OR 5+ years of relevant architecture experience'; the overall years minimum is set to 5 (the lower of the two paths).
A Bachelor's or Associate's degree in a CS/MIS-related field is listed, but equivalent work experience is explicitly accepted, so no formal degree is hard-required.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: Solution Architect roles sit between 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other — the standard home for enterprise/solution architects) and 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts), as the role involves both cross-cutting architectural design and systems analysis/evaluation.
The role is explicitly on-site at the Menards Corporate Office in Eau Claire, WI; remote work is not offered.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): security best practices.
