Why we read it this way (6)
The title 'Lead Software Engineer' maps to Senior on the standard career ladder; the 5+ years requirement and scope (leading cross-functional delivery, mentoring, architecture reviews) are consistent with Senior rather than Staff or Principal — no genuine org-wide authority is described.
Python and Go are listed as alternatives in the required section ('Python or Go'); both are captured as a single interchangeable requirement. Java is mentioned only as a secondary integration concern ('where integration or platform requirements apply') and appears in the responsibilities narrative rather than as a hard gate, so it is marked preferred.
The cloud requirement is stated as 'Azure, AWS, or GCP' in the required section — treated as a hard gate on cloud-native engineering broadly, with all three named as alternatives. GCP also appears separately under preferred qualifications for multi-cloud security services familiarity.
Terraform and policy-as-code appear only under Preferred qualifications and are marked accordingly.
Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket appear in the responsibilities section as integration targets rather than under the required qualifications block, so they are marked preferred.
The role sits at the intersection of software engineering and cloud security/compliance; 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) is noted as a runner-up given the heavy security controls and compliance focus, but the primary day-to-day work is building and shipping production code and automation pipelines, which aligns with 15-1252.
