Why we read it this way (6)
The role title is 'Solutions Architect (Enterprise Security & Cloud Architecture)' — it sits at the intersection of security architecture and cloud architecture. SOC 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) was chosen because cybersecurity architecture is explicitly called out as the primary background required; 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is the runner-up given the strong enterprise/cloud architecture framing.
Zero trust and micro-segmentation are listed as interchangeable examples of cloud-native security patterns under the required qualifications; they are captured as a single skill with micro-segmentation as an alternative.
The posting is listed as a 12-month contract and explicitly restricts visa sponsorship (no H1B, TN, OPT-EAD).
No compensation figures are stated in the posting.
HLD/LLD design experience and hybrid cloud/enterprise architecture leadership are required but name no specific technology or tool, so they are not emitted as skills per extraction rules.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
