Why we read it this way (8)
The title 'AI Solution Architect' carries no explicit seniority level word, so the title states no level; the 6–10 years overall / 3–5 years senior-role requirement and hands-on IC scope support a Senior classification.
SOC is Medium confidence: the role is primarily hands-on software/AI engineering (15-1252), but the 'Solution Architect' framing and cross-team standards-setting introduce some ambiguity with 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other). The JD emphasizes building and deploying production systems, which tips it to 15-1252.
The JD states 'Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or equivalent professional experience' under Highly Desired Qualifications — this is preferred, not a hard gate, so the degree requirement is set to None.
Remote status is not stated; the role is headquartered in Chicago and the JD makes no remote offer, so remote is set to false.
Claude API and Claude Code are explicitly 'strongly preferred' in the Required Qualifications section — they appear under a required heading but with explicit preference language. They are captured as required given their placement in the Required section, with alternatives listed for the interchangeable tools named alongside them.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) server implementation is explicitly called out as a required hands-on skill in the Required Qualifications block.
Azure, Salesforce, and Dynamics 365 appear only under 'Highly Desired Qualifications' and are marked as preferred accordingly.
The JD mentions queues and caching as distributed-systems patterns but names no specific technology (e.g., Kafka, Redis); these are omitted as they name no concrete tool.
