Why we read it this way (7)
No specific location is stated in the posting beyond 'US'; the compensation range is US-wide. No CBSA could be determined.
The title is 'Principal Software Developer' (Oracle career level IC4), but the qualifications section names no hard experience-year gate and the scope — while broad and cross-team — is that of a senior individual contributor owning a platform, not an org-wide technical authority. Seniority is assessed as Senior rather than Principal.
OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) is listed as 'preferred' in the qualifications ('preferably Oracle Cloud Infrastructure'), but it sits within the required qualifications block alongside other hard gates; it is treated as required with common cloud-platform alternatives noted.
Artifact repositories and CI/CD integration appear in the required qualifications block ('Experience with CI/CD systems, artifact repositories, or developer productivity platforms') — the 'or' here connects interchangeable domain contexts rather than optional skills, so both are retained as required.
'Large-scale data migration' is a named domain capability explicitly required in the qualifications block; it is retained as a required skill despite not being a specific named tool, because it represents a concrete, testable technical competency central to the role.
No degree requirement is stated anywhere in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): large-scale data migration.
