Why we read it this way (5)
The title 'Technical Lead' carries no standard seniority level word, so advertised seniority is set to Unspecified; the 8+ years Salesforce requirement and team-lead scope support a Senior classification.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role blends hands-on Salesforce development (15-1252) with systems-analysis and architecture work (15-1211); the explicit Apex/Lightning build responsibilities tipped the primary code to 15-1252.
Three Salesforce certifications — Platform Developer I, Integration Architect, and Salesforce Administrator — are listed as hard requirements under 'What you need to have to be considered' and are captured as separate required skills.
The posting states no degree requirement anywhere, so degree requirement is set to None.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Salesforce Platform Developer I.
