Why we read it this way (8)

The title 'Cyber Security Architect II' implies a numeric level (II → Mid) for the level advertised in the title, but the actual requirements — 5+ years of hands-on M365 security experience, broad enterprise security architecture scope, and regulatory framework knowledge — support a Senior-level classification.

The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree in computer science, Computer Engineering, or related experience,' meaning equivalent experience is explicitly accepted in lieu of a degree; the degree requirement is therefore set to None.

ITAR compliance is listed as a hard requirement (U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident), but no formal US security clearance is gated — the clearance requirement is None.

The role is described as hybrid (Livonia, MI), so remote is false.

NIST 800-171, CMMC, ISO 27001, and TISAX are listed under the required qualifications block as 'working knowledge' — treated as hard gates given their placement in the minimum qualifications section.

AWS and GCP appear alongside Azure in the required qualifications as cloud platform experience; all three are listed as separate required skills since the posting treats them as a combined stack expectation rather than interchangeable alternatives.

CISSP and CISM appear only under the 'A successful candidate may also have' (preferred) section.

The alternative occupation code 15-1299 is noted because the 'Architect' framing blends security analysis with infrastructure design; however, the primary day-to-day work (vulnerability management, EDR, DLP, SIEM, threat landscape research) aligns most closely with Information Security Analysts (15-1212).
