Why we read it this way (8)
No work location is specified in the posting; CBSA and state are left blank. The role likely requires on-site or hybrid work given the Public Trust clearance requirement and government contract context, but the posting does not confirm this.
The clearance field is set to None because the posting states the candidate 'must be able to obtain' a Public Trust clearance — this is a suitability determination, not a US security clearance (Confidential/Secret/TS), so it does not map to any clearance tier in the schema.
The scripting language requirement lists Python, PowerShell, REXX, CLIST, and Perl as alternatives under a single 'proficiency with scripting languages such as' gate. Python is used as the primary name with the others captured as alternatives.
Java, GitHub, Jenkins, and IBM DBB are explicitly called out as 'a plus' in the qualifications section and are marked preferred accordingly.
Jira, Confluence, Slack, CMS ARS/TRA familiarity, and ECHIMP experience appear under 'Preferred Qualifications' and are marked preferred.
The SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role blends software architecture (15-1252) with systems analysis and enterprise architecture advisory work (15-1211). The primary day-to-day emphasis on designing and validating architectures and producing specifications leans toward 15-1252, but 15-1211 is a genuine runner-up.
The title carries no seniority level word, so advertised seniority is Unspecified. The actual requirements (10–12+ years, mission-critical mainframe architecture, enterprise-level design) support a Senior classification.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): IBM Dependency Based Build.
