Why we read it this way (12)
This role is based in Latin America (not the US), placed by a staffing/consulting firm ('4tech') on a long-term project engagement — classified as Contract accordingly.
The title carries no seniority level word; the title states no level. The 5+ years requirement, threat modeling leadership, mentoring responsibilities, and cross-functional scope support a Senior classification.
The role sits between 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) and 15-1252 (Software Developers): it is primarily application security — threat modeling, secure code reviews, vulnerability triage, AppSec tooling — but requires hands-on development experience across a broad web stack. 15-1212 was chosen as primary because the day-to-day work is security-focused; 15-1252 is the runner-up.
A Bachelor's degree is listed under 'Bonus Points' (the secondary/preferred section), so it is not a hard requirement.
Go and PostgreSQL appear only in the responsibilities narrative ('Work across technologies including…'), not in the Requirements section — marked as preferred.
WAF and CI/CD appear only under 'Bonus Points' — marked as preferred.
Python appears only under 'Bonus Points' — marked as preferred.
The Ember/Angular/React/Vue requirement is stated as 'front-end frameworks such as Ember, Angular, React, or Vue' — Ember is listed first with the others as named alternatives.
The Qualys/SonarCloud/Prisma requirement uses 'or similar' language within the Requirements section — all three named tools are captured, with SonarCloud and Prisma as alternatives.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
This role's work location reads as outside the US — the candidate pool, comp, and contention benchmarks here are US-only (BLS employment, Adzuna/USAJOBS demand, and certified H-1B wages), so treat them as a rough US reference, not a local market.
