No work location is specified in the posting; CBSA and state are left blank. The role is tied to a government modernization program (CCH Modernization / Integrated Justice Portal), which suggests an on-site or hybrid engagement at a government facility, so remote=false was assumed.
The title 'Software Architect' and the explicit framing 'Makes high-level design choices and dictates technical standards… Designs multi-leveled architecture of a large-scale software system' indicate cross-team technical authority beyond a typical Senior IC, supporting a Staff-level classification despite the absence of a formal 'Staff' title.
The 84-month (7-year) experience demands are stated at the role level in the Requested Requirements section and are also tied to specific technologies; the overall years minimum is set to 7 to reflect the role-level gate.
Month figures were converted to years by dividing by 12: 84 months → 7 years, 72 months → 6 years.
JPA and Hibernate are listed as alternatives ('JPA and/or Hibernate') for the same requirement; Oracle and SQL Server are likewise interchangeable database options for that same requirement.
The alternative occupation code 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is noted as a runner-up given the significant emphasis on enterprise architecture, technical liaison work, and documentation alongside hands-on development.
