Why we read it this way (7)
The title 'SDE 3' is an internal level designation; it maps to a Senior engineer band by scope and experience requirements (6+ years overall, 4+ years in design/architecture, technical project leadership), so the title states no level — the title carries no standard level word.
The 6+ years overall and 4+ years design/architecture requirements are role-level gates captured in the overall years minimum (the higher, binding figure of 6).
SOC 2 Type II is listed under Basic Qualifications with firm language ('aligned to SOC 2 Type II practices'), so it is treated as a hard gate on secure-systems experience rather than a certification requirement per se.
CI/CD appears in the Preferred Qualifications section ('build pipelines') and is marked preferred accordingly.
React, Redux, HTML5, and CSS3 appear explicitly under Preferred Qualifications and are marked preferred.
No compensation figures are stated in the posting.
