Why we read it this way (9)
The role is titled 'Enterprise Printing Solutions Architect' with no seniority level in the title, so advertised seniority is Unspecified; however, the scope (senior technical authority, 10+ years required, principal advisor to a federal agency) firmly supports Senior.
SOC classification is a genuine judgement call: the role is primarily enterprise architecture and solution design (15-1299 / 15-1211) rather than software development or pure systems administration. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the best fit for an enterprise architect role; 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is the close runner-up.
Degree requirement is set to None because the JD explicitly states '10 years of relevant experience may be substituted for the degree requirement,' making the Master's degree non-mandatory.
Clearance is set to None: the posting requires US citizenship or Green Card and willingness to obtain a Public Trust suitability determination, which is not a security clearance (Confidential/Secret/TS).
PaperCut and PrinterLogic are listed together under Preferred Qualifications alongside HP, Xerox, Ricoh, Lexmark, and Canon as example enterprise print management platforms; PaperCut is emitted as the primary with PrinterLogic as an alternative. The hardware vendors (HP, Xerox, Ricoh, Lexmark, Canon) are not discrete software/tool skills and are omitted.
NIST 800-171 appears in the responsibilities section alongside NIST 800-53 and DISA STIGs; NIST 800-53 is emitted as the canonical NIST framework skill since it is the primary federal controls standard named in the required qualifications.
The caller has declared this a fully-remote, national role; no metro is inferred.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Zero Trust Architecture.
Caller marked this a fully-remote role — scored against the national candidate pool.
