Why we read it this way (8)
The posting names no overall years-of-experience requirement — only 'proven experience' as a Cloud Architect, Data Engineer, or System Engineer in enterprise environments.
GCP is listed as 'preferred' within the minimum requirements ('major public cloud platform, GCP preferred'), but the broader cloud-platform requirement itself is a hard gate; GCP alternatives (AWS, Azure) are captured accordingly.
Kubernetes appears in both the role narrative (alongside Anthos) and the Preferred Qualifications section; it is marked preferred because its only explicit section placement is Preferred Qualifications.
The Google Cloud Professional Architect certification is listed under Preferred Qualifications and is marked preferred accordingly.
Compensation is described only as 'competitive' with no figures given.
The role is described as a 'flexible, hybrid work environment in Austin, TX' — not fully remote.
SOC 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used for Cloud/Solutions Architect as no dedicated SOC exists; 15-1252 Software Developers is the closest alternative given the hands-on implementation emphasis.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): cloud architecture, Google Cloud Professional Architect.
