Why we read it this way (5)
The role is titled 'Senior Manager' and explicitly involves leading distributed onshore/offshore engineering teams, making 11-3021 (Computer and Information Systems Managers) the primary classification. However, the posting strongly emphasizes hands-on delivery — staying close to Python, reviewing code/architecture, and keeping building — so 15-1252 (Software Developers) is a genuine runner-up.
The 5+ years leading AI/ML application delivery is a role-level requirement and is captured in the overall years minimum (8+ years overall); the 5-year leadership sub-requirement cannot be represented as a named-technology skill.
The JD references 'modern generative AI and agentic frameworks' but names no specific frameworks (e.g. LangChain, LlamaIndex, AutoGen). These are captured at the capability level only.
A bachelor's degree in a technical field is listed as a requirement but is immediately qualified with 'or equivalent experience,' so the degree requirement is set to None.
No compensation figures are provided beyond a general reference to 'excellent compensation.'
