Why we read it this way (6)
The title 'Lead Developer' carries no standard seniority level word (Junior/Mid/Senior/Staff/Principal), so advertised seniority is Unspecified. The 10+ years Java/JEE/Oracle requirement and lead/mentoring scope support a Senior classification.
The 10+ years Java/JEE/Oracle requirement is stated in the Required Qualifications section and is treated as a hard gate. The 5+ years web services requirement is explicitly marked 'preferred' in the same section, so those technologies (REST, JSON, SOAP, XML, XSLT) are marked preferred.
All skills under 'Preferred knowledge, skills or abilities' are marked preferred, consistent with that heading's framing.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree… Any suitable combination of education and experience will be considered,' which means equivalent experience is accepted — degree requirement is set to None.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Location is inferred as Nashville, TN from the 'Nearest Major Market: Nashville' footer.
