Why we read it this way (5)
The title says 'Principal' but the actual requirements — 8+ years, team leadership, multi-project delivery — are well within the Senior band on a normal career ladder. The 'Principal' framing here reads more as a seniority label for a senior consultant than a true org-wide technical authority role, so the assessed level is Senior.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is a Salesforce-platform specialist (architect/consultant) that doesn't map cleanly to a single standard code. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is the best fit for a platform-specialist/architect role; 15-1252 (Software Developers) is the runner-up given the hands-on Apex/Lightning development background required.
Integrations and data migration are called out as required experience in the Required Qualifications section but name no specific tool there; MuleSoft and REST appear only under Preferred Qualifications.
Salesforce certifications (Platform Developer, Application/System Architect, CTA) are explicitly listed as preferred and 'not required' — captured as preferred skills.
Event-driven architecture is mentioned alongside REST and MuleSoft in the Preferred section but names no specific tool or platform, so it was not emitted as a discrete skill.
