Why we read it this way (6)
The title 'Assistant Vice President, Software Engineering' carries no standard seniority level word, so the title states no level. However, the role requires 10+ years of software development experience, 5+ years managing a software engineering team, direct reports (Assistant Director and Senior Software Engineer), and org-wide technical direction-setting — scope that maps to Principal on the career ladder.
SOC is 11-3021 (Computer and Information Systems Managers) because the primary day-to-day work is people management (performance management, supervisory strategy, team oversight) and organizational technical direction, not hands-on individual-contributor software development. The alt code 15-1252 reflects that the JD also requires expert-level technical skills and direct technical contribution.
The JD states 'Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience, Masters degree preferred.' Because equivalent experience is explicitly accepted in lieu of a degree, the degree requirement is set to None.
The four expert-level skills (SQL, C#, JavaScript, Azure) are listed together under Minimum Requirements with the phrase 'Expert-level skills in…', making them hard gates. 'Microsoft Azure Suite' is normalized to 'Azure'.
No compensation range is stated in the posting.
The role also references AI initiatives and data partnerships as responsibilities, but no specific tools or platforms are named for those areas.
