Why we read it this way (8)
The role title is 'Architect' with no seniority modifier. The requirements (7+ years, enterprise architecture scope, cross-functional leadership) support a Senior-level classification; the title itself carries no explicit level word, so advertised seniority is Unspecified.
SOC classification is a genuine judgment call: the role is primarily an Enterprise/Solution Architect designing AI-enabled delivery platforms. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the best fit for an enterprise architect role; 15-1252 (Software Developers) is the runner-up given the heavy emphasis on designing and governing software delivery systems.
The degree requirement is a tiered gate: Bachelor's + 7 years, Master's + 6 years, or PhD + 2 years. The minimum hard-required degree is a Bachelor's (the lowest tier), so the degree requirement is set to Bachelors.
Total years minimum is set to 7, reflecting the lowest-tier experience gate (Bachelor's + 7 years).
All specific tools (Azure, Docker, Confluent, Azure DevOps, Jira, Git, JFrog, ServiceNow, Tricentis, Claude) appear exclusively under the 'Preferred' section and are therefore not hard gates.
The required skills around LLMs, RAG, agent orchestration, cloud-native architecture, APIs, event-driven architecture, CI/CD, and distributed systems are drawn from the 'Required' qualifications block, even though no specific product names are cited there — they represent genuine capability gates for this role.
BMAD (agentic development methodology) appears only under Preferred and names no specific technology tool, so it is omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): agent orchestration, cloud-native architecture.
