Why we read it this way (7)
Location is stated only as 'California' with no specific city or metro; CBSA has been left unspecified accordingly.
The posting says 'remote-friendly work environment' in the benefits section but does not explicitly state the role is fully remote; remote has been set to false as a conservative read.
Degree requirement lists 'Bachelor's or master's degree' but does not state it as a hard gate with firm language, and no 'equivalent experience' clause is present — this is a borderline call; treated as not a hard degree gate given the overall framing.
The '5 years as a software architect' requirement is the stated total experience floor and is captured as the role-level minimum.
Spring, Hibernate, Angular, Git, Bitbucket, Gradle, Maven, Jenkins, and the security testing tools (SAST, SCA, DAST) all appear under the 'Skills, Knowledge and Expertise' requirements section and are treated as hard gates despite the breadth of the list.
'Data security software and policy management systems' are explicitly called out as 'a plus' and are marked as preferred.
SOC confidence is Medium: 'Software Architect' is most accurately mapped to Software Developers (15-1252) given the hands-on design and technical leadership scope, but 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is a reasonable runner-up given the distinct architect framing.
