Why we read it this way (7)
The role is titled 'Software Engineering Manager' and explicitly requires at least 3 years of prior management experience with direct people-management responsibilities (coaching, talent development, team leadership), making 11-3021 the primary classification. The SRE operational context (incident response, on-call rotation, production support) introduces some overlap with 15-1244, noted as the alt code.
Two work locations are listed — Phoenix, AZ (Noon–9 pm shift) and Denver, CO (1–10 pm shift). Phoenix CBSA is used as primary; Denver (CBSA 19740) is an equally valid location for candidates.
The posting states 'Bachelors' under Education but explicitly allows 'a comparable combination of education, job specific certification(s), and experience (including military service)' in lieu of a degree, so the degree requirement is set to None.
Elastic Stack (ELK) and LogScale are listed as 'a plus' in the position overview and appear only under Preferred Skills — treated as preferred.
The skills listed under 'Preferred Skills' and 'Competencies' are largely methodologies, soft skills, or generic concepts (e.g., Group Problem Solving, Design Thinking, Coaching Others) rather than named technologies; only concrete, named tools are surfaced in the skills list.
The role is incentive-eligible; total compensation may exceed the stated base salary range.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Release Management, Application Development.
