Why we read it this way (7)
This role is posted under the title 'Software Engineering Manager' and explicitly requires at least 3 years of prior management experience with direct leadership of geographically distributed teams — classified as a people-management role (11-3021). The alt SOC (15-1252) is noted because the JD also emphasizes hands-on technical depth and automation development.
The role is based across three possible locations: Phoenix, AZ; Denver, CO; and Pittsburgh, PA. Pittsburgh is listed as the primary CBSA here, but candidates may be based at any of the three hubs.
The 'Required Technical Skills' section lists all core and modern platform technologies as hard gates. Microservices architecture is implied by the Java-based microservices requirement and is captured under the Java skill.
Finastra Global PAYplus, IBM FTM, and IBM IIB/ACE appear under 'Preferred Experience' with explicit 'strong preference' language — treated as preferred, not required.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelors' but explicitly allows 'a comparable combination of education, job specific certification(s), and experience' in lieu of a degree — the degree requirement is therefore set to None.
The salary range ($100,100–$204,490/year) is stated as base salary; the role is also described as incentive eligible.
