Why we read it this way (8)
The posting is for a 'Software Development Senior Manager' (Career Level M3) with direct reports and people management responsibilities — the primary day-to-day work is managing a software engineering division, making 11-3021 the right classification. 15-1252 is noted as a runner-up because the role also expects hands-on distributed systems depth.
The JD states two overlapping experience thresholds: '5+ years building and operating large-scale cloud-based distributed systems' and '10 years industry experience' with '3+ years of manager experience'. Total experience is set to 10 years (the highest stated overall floor).
AWS is listed in the required section with specific services (EC2, EBS, Lambda, DynamoDB, S3) and qualified with 'or equivalents', so Azure and GCP are captured as alternatives.
Location is not specified in the posting beyond 'US'; no specific metro or state is identified. The compensation range is stated as US-wide.
The posting mentions eligibility for bonus and equity in addition to the base salary range.
Master's degree in Computer Science appears under Preferred Qualifications; the hard minimum is a Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience. Because the JD explicitly accepts equivalent industry experience, the degree requirement is set to Bachelors (the stated minimum formal degree).
'Cloud Engineering Infrastructure Development' appears verbatim as a preferred qualification header item — it is a domain descriptor rather than a named technology and has been omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): security principles, fleet orchestration.
