Why we read it this way (7)
The title 'Workday Technical Lead' carries no standard seniority level word, so advertised seniority is Unspecified; the 6+ years overall / 4+ years Workday requirement and solution-design ownership support a Senior classification.
A Bachelor's degree in CS/IS is listed as required, but the posting explicitly accepts equivalent experience in lieu of a degree (10+ years without a degree), so the degree requirement is set to None.
The posting references a security clearance background-check link but does not gate the role on holding or obtaining a clearance — no clearance is required.
MuleSoft and Snowflake/Power BI appear under 'Familiarity with' language in the required qualifications section — a softer gate than the rest of that section; treated as preferred accordingly.
Workday Prism Analytics/Data Cloud and AI/LLM integration patterns appear in both the 'Qualifications We Prefer' and 'Essential Functions' sections — the duplication is likely a copy-paste artifact; they are treated as preferred based on the 'Qualifications We Prefer' heading.
Workday Orchestrate certification is explicitly required; Extend certification and other domain certifications are listed as preferred.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Workday Security Configuration.
