Why we read it this way (5)
The role is titled 'Engineering Manager' with explicit direct-report management responsibilities (manage, grow, mentor a distributed SRE team), which maps to 11-3021. However, the posting strongly emphasizes hands-on infrastructure work (Terraform, AWS, Kubernetes, MongoDB), so 15-1244 is a meaningful runner-up.
AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes, and MongoDB are listed under the 'You should' requirements block and are treated as hard gates. EKS and the monitoring/observability tools (CloudWatch, Grafana, PagerDuty, Pingdom, CloudFlare) appear in the 'The stack' narrative section and are marked preferred.
TypeScript, Rust, Airflow, Scala, and Spark appear only in the stack description and are not gated requirements for this manager role.
No compensation figures are disclosed; the posting references 'competitive salary' and promises full details at the offer stage.
The role requires in-person presence at the NYC Flatiron HQ and is not remote.
