Why we read it this way (7)
No work location is specified in the posting — CBSA and state are left blank. The role is listed on Amazon's jobs site and is likely US-based, but the posting does not confirm this.
The role sits at the intersection of software engineering and security; the primary day-to-day work is building security capabilities (software development), so 15-1252 is preferred over 15-1212, but the security domain is a meaningful secondary signal.
The only hard-gated skills in the Basic Qualifications are extremely generic: 3+ years of professional software development experience, 2+ years of design/architecture experience, and proficiency in at least one programming language. No specific language, framework, or tool is named anywhere in the posting as a requirement.
Agile/Scrum appears in the key responsibilities narrative rather than a formal requirements section, so it is treated as preferred context rather than a hard gate.
A Bachelor's degree in computer science is listed under Preferred Qualifications only, so the degree requirement is set to None.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): software development, system design.
