Why we read it this way (5)
The role title is 'Databricks Architect' but no explicit seniority level (Senior, Staff, etc.) appears in the title or framing — advertised seniority is therefore Unspecified. The 10-year experience requirement and end-to-end platform ownership scope support a Senior classification.
SOC classification is a judgement call: the role centers on designing and deploying Databricks data platform architecture (pipeline/warehouse/lakehouse infrastructure), which maps best to Database Architects (15-1243). However, the heavy Terraform/IaC and AWS infrastructure-as-code emphasis also has a credible claim to Software Developers (15-1252), listed as the runner-up.
No work location or remote policy is stated in the posting. Location and remote fields are left at defaults (no CBSA, remote=false).
No compensation is mentioned in the posting.
AWS-specific networking sub-features (security groups, network ACLs, private endpoints) are captured under the named AWS services (IAM, VPC, S3, PrivateLink) rather than as separate skills, as they are components of those services rather than distinct tools.
