Why we read it this way (7)
This role is a hybrid of platform/solutions architecture, AI/automation strategy, and citizen-developer enablement — it does not map cleanly to a single SOC. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) was chosen as the best fit for a strategic Platform Engineer/Architect role spanning AI governance, Power Platform, and enterprise architecture; 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is a credible runner-up given the heavy stakeholder consulting and business-to-technology translation emphasis.
The title 'Platform Engineer' carries no explicit seniority level, so advertised seniority is Unspecified. The 7-year minimum experience requirement and scope (enterprise architecture, governance, informal leadership) support a Senior classification.
The development languages (Node.js, TypeScript, C#, .NET, SQL) are listed together as interchangeable examples under the required 7-year experience block ('any combination of the following'), so they are emitted as a single required skill with alternatives rather than separate entries.
Power BI, DAX, Microsoft Fabric, Azure Data Factory, Power Platform, and Azure are all listed under the 'Preferred' section of the qualifications and are therefore not hard gates.
The JD accepts 'direct and applicable work experience' in lieu of a Bachelor's degree, so the degree requirement is set to None.
No compensation range is stated in the posting.
