Why we read it this way (5)
The requirements section lists 'C#, .NET, JavaScript, Python, and/or Java' together with an 'and/or' connector, suggesting these are interchangeable to some degree. C# is treated as the primary required language given the .NET-ecosystem framing; JavaScript is captured as a second required skill with Python and Java as alternatives, reflecting the posting's own grouping.
The 8+ years requirement is explicitly tied to the .NET ecosystem, so it is captured both as a role-level experience floor and as the years demanded on the .NET skill.
The posting lists 'Azure Web Services' and 'Azure SQL Services' under Nice-to-have; these are captured as Azure and Azure SQL respectively, as the posting appears to mean Azure's web and SQL offerings rather than distinct branded products.
'Responsible AI governance' and 'prompt engineering basics' appear in the requirements section but name no specific tool or platform, so they are not emitted as skills.
The title 'Manager, Software Engineering' carries no seniority modifier; advertised seniority is therefore Unspecified. The actual scope — managing a small team with 8+ years required — aligns with a Senior band.
