Why we read it this way (8)
The role is titled 'Azure Cloud Infrastructure Architect' and is explicitly described as a 'senior-level, hands-on architecture role' — advertised seniority is Senior. The 10+ years of experience and scope (enterprise-wide, strategic roadmaps, mentorship) are consistent with Senior, not Staff or Principal, as the posting describes a single-team technical lead rather than org-wide architectural authority.
SOC classification is Medium confidence. The role is a cloud/infrastructure architect — a blend of systems architecture (15-1299 Computer Occupations, All Other, which covers architects not elsewhere classified) and hands-on infrastructure engineering (15-1244). 15-1299 is used here as the best fit for an enterprise architect role; 15-1252 is the runner-up given the emphasis on designing and implementing solutions.
Degree: the posting says 'Bachelor's degree … preferred; equivalent experience will be considered' — this is a preference, not a hard gate, so the degree requirement is set to None.
VMware and Hyper-V are listed as 'VMware and/or Hyper-V' in the required section — they are interchangeable alternatives for the virtualization requirement, so they are captured as one skill with an alternative rather than two separate gates.
MCSE and CCNA appear under Preferred Qualifications alongside Azure certifications and are treated as preferred.
Microservices/SOA appears under Preferred Qualifications as 'Understanding of microservices and service-oriented architecture (SOA)' — treated as preferred.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): backup and disaster recovery, Azure Solutions Architect Expert.
