Why we read it this way (8)
The posting lists H1/GC/US Citizens under 'Clearance', which is actually a work authorization requirement, not a US security clearance — no clearance is gated.
The title 'Enterprise Solution Architect' carries no seniority modifier, so the title states no level; however, the 15-year minimum experience requirement and org-wide architectural scope support a Senior classification.
The JD mentions 'Oracle, Microsoft, GIS, enterprise applications, and cloud platforms' as areas for architectural guidance. Oracle and Microsoft Azure are captured as named technologies; GIS is a domain reference with no specific product named and is omitted.
Cloud platform experience (Azure, AWS, GCP) is required by the minimum qualifications but no single platform is singled out as the mandatory one — Azure is listed first in the preferred certifications and Microsoft is called out in the responsibilities, so Azure is used as the primary with AWS/GCP as alternatives.
The salary range section references a pay range but provides no actual figures, so no compensation values are extracted.
TOGAF, AWS Solutions Architect Professional, Kubernetes, and CISSP appear only under 'Preferred Certifications' and are marked accordingly.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: Enterprise/Solution Architect roles blend systems analysis (15-1211) with broader architectural and integration work that could also fit 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other), as no single BLS code perfectly captures this occupation.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): cloud architecture.
