Why we read it this way (6)
The job title is not specified in the posting; the internal career level is IC4, which at Oracle typically corresponds to a Senior individual contributor. The advertised seniority is therefore treated as Unspecified.
No specific work location is stated beyond 'U.S. based or U.S. customer or client-facing roles.' The compensation range is US-wide; no CBSA or state could be determined.
Java and Python are listed together as interchangeable options ('one or more … such as Java and/or Python') under required qualifications — emitted as a single requirement with alternatives.
Security and networking experience appear in the required qualifications section but name no specific tool or platform, so they are not emitted as discrete skills. The preferred section's 'Application Security' and 'Security platforms in the Cloud infrastructure' are captured as preferred skills.
The alt SOC (15-1212 Information Security Analysts) is noted because the role explicitly targets security product development and trusted infrastructure, though the primary day-to-day work is software engineering (building new services), making 15-1252 the stronger fit.
A Bachelor's degree in CS/Engineering is explicitly required; a Master's degree is listed only under Preferred Qualifications.
