Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.

What the occupation pays Median $138,970 (middle half $107,524–$175,762). This posting is about at that midpoint.

Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (10)

This role is titled 'Principal-level individual contributor' (Career Level IC5) but the actual scope — 8+ years of Java development, 5+ years of customer-facing consulting, and 5+ years of DevOps/operations — is consistent with a Senior engineer. The 'Principal' label reflects Oracle's internal leveling rather than org-wide technical authority, so seniority is assessed as Senior.

The role is open to candidates in the United States or Canada (remote). No specific metro is listed. The US-based flag is set true because the posting explicitly covers US-based candidates and quotes US compensation; Canadian candidates are also eligible.

Compensation is quoted both as an hourly range ($52.16–$100.72/hr) and an annualized equivalent ($108,500–$209,500/yr). The hourly figures are captured here as the primary stated basis; the annualized range is noted for reference.

The role is classified as Software Developers (15-1252) because the JD requires deep hands-on Java engineering, JVM expertise, and the ability to write demonstration code and prototypes. Computer Systems Analysts (15-1211) is a plausible runner-up given the heavy customer advisory, workshop, and consulting emphasis.

The Bachelor's degree requirement is listed with 'or equivalent practical experience,' so the degree requirement is set to None.

Skills such as 'garbage collection analysis,' 'heap and thread analysis,' 'profilers,' and 'observability tools' are named as concrete diagnostic techniques/tool categories explicitly required in the Required Skills section; they are retained as distinct skills rather than collapsed.

All 'Bonus Experience' items (Java Management Service, Jakarta EE, Spring, Spring Boot, Kubernetes, CI/CD, Java Module System) are listed under a clearly secondary 'Bonus Experience' heading and are marked as preferred.

Travel up to 25% within North America (and occasionally internationally) is required per the posting.

Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): garbage collection analysis, heap and thread analysis.

This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
