Why we read it this way (8)
No work location or metro area is specified in the posting; CBSA is left blank. The role may be remote or hybrid but this is not stated explicitly.
The title 'AI Solutions Architect' (implied by the role description) carries no explicit seniority level word; the title states no level. The 8+ years overall / 3+ years AI experience requirement supports a Senior classification.
The '3+ years focused on AI, machine learning, generative AI, or intelligent automation' figure is a sub-requirement within the 8+ year overall gate; it is reflected on the Generative AI skill's years demanded and in the overall years minimum (8).
SOC 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used because this is a client-facing Solutions Architect role that spans architecture, advisory, and delivery leadership — it does not map cleanly to Software Developers (15-1252) or Data Scientists (15-2051). 15-1252 is noted as a plausible runner-up given the hands-on technical depth required.
A Master's degree is listed as preferred, not required; the hard gate is a Bachelor's degree.
Preferred certifications (Azure Solutions Architect Expert, Azure AI Engineer Associate, Fabric Analytics Engineer Associate, Azure Data Engineer Associate, Power Platform Solution Architect Expert) are not emitted as skills because they are certifications, not technologies, and appear under a 'Preferred Certifications' heading.
Power Platform, Azure Databricks, Azure SQL, Azure Functions, Azure App Services, Azure Container Apps, Microsoft 365 Copilot, and Dynamics 365 appear in the responsibilities/stack narrative rather than the explicit Technical Skills required block, so they are marked as preferred.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): AI agent design.
