Why we read it this way (9)
This role is based in Hyderabad, India (IN-AP-Hyderabad); US benchmark compensation and pool data will not apply.
The title 'Java Architect' carries no explicit seniority level word, so advertised seniority is Unspecified. The actual requirements (9+ years hands-on lead experience, 10–16 years Java development, expert-level across multiple stacks) support a Senior classification — the scope is deep individual-contributor technical leadership, not org-wide architectural authority that would warrant Staff or Principal.
The JD states '10 to 16 years as Java Application Developer' as the technology-stack experience range; the overall years minimum is set to 9 from the explicitly stated minimum role-level requirement ('9+ years experience working as a hands-on Application Development Lead').
Angular and React are listed together as UI framework options; Angular is captured as the primary with React as an alternative since the JD presents them as interchangeable choices.
Mockito/EasyMock and Jenkins/Hudson appear under the 'Engineering Practices' section, which reads as preferred/contextual guidance rather than a hard gate — listed as preferred accordingly.
Camunda (workflow) and Karma (JS test runner) appear in the technology stack narrative but are not called out with the same 'Expert-level' gate language as the core skills; treated as preferred.
Cloud Foundry / Gaia (GAP, GKS) is listed under the required technology stack with 'Expert-level implementation skills' — marked required. AWS S3 is called out specifically for object storage within the same block.
The alternative occupation of 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is noted because the 'Architect' title and the breadth of design/patterns/mentoring responsibilities introduce some ambiguity, but the JD's emphasis on hands-on coding and expert-level implementation across the stack makes 15-1252 (Software Developers) the stronger fit.
This role's work location reads as outside the US — the candidate pool, comp, and contention benchmarks here are US-only (BLS employment, Adzuna/USAJOBS demand, and certified H-1B wages), so treat them as a rough US reference, not a local market.
