Why we read it this way (5)
The role is classified as Staff Software Engineer (individual contributor with cross-team technical leadership) rather than a people manager — the JD explicitly states 'leading small teams without formal people management responsibilities,' so 15-1252 is preferred over 11-3021, though the runner-up is noted given the pod-lead framing.
Location is not explicitly stated in the posting body, but Resideo Technologies is headquartered in Scottsdale, AZ (Phoenix metro); the hybrid 3-day in-office requirement confirms a physical office location. The Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler CBSA is the best available inference.
PostgreSQL and SQL Server are listed together as examples of SQL data stores in the same requirement clause and are treated as interchangeable alternatives; Cosmos DB and Redis are listed as separate NoSQL examples and emitted as distinct skills.
OpenAPI, JSON Schema, and Event Grid appear in the Architecture & System Design duties section rather than the 'YOU MUST HAVE' block, so they are marked preferred.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting beyond a general reference to 'competitive compensation.'
