Why we read it this way (7)
The title 'Software Architect' carries no explicit seniority level word, so the title states no level; however, the 10+ years overall / 5+ years senior-technical requirement and org-wide architectural scope firmly support Senior (not Staff or Principal — the role is scoped to an Education IT portfolio, not org-wide technical authority).
AWS is listed as a hard requirement (4+ years); Azure and GCP appear in the same sentence as 'a plus', so they are captured as alternatives on the AWS skill and also as a separate preferred skill.
The JD names Git and Jenkins as examples within a DevOps tools requirement ('e.g., Git, Jenkins, CI/CD pipelines'). Because they appear under Minimum Qualifications with firm language, they are treated as hard gates; CI/CD is also captured separately as the broader capability named.
Databricks and LLMs appear under Minimum Qualifications with 'working knowledge' / 'familiarity with' language, which is softer than 'deep expertise', but they are still listed in the required qualifications block — treated as hard gates accordingly.
The alt SOC 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is noted as a runner-up because 'Software Architect' is a recognized role that BLS does not have a dedicated code for; 15-1252 Software Developers is the closest standard occupation for hands-on architectural/engineering work.
A BS in Computer Science, Engineering, or related technical field is explicitly required; an MS is listed under Preferred Qualifications only.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): full-stack web development.
