Why we read it this way (6)

The posting title is 'Software Engineering Manager' with no level modifier, so the title states no level. The scope (leading teams, managing vendors, setting strategy) maps to a Senior people-management band; the requirements do not describe org-wide authority that would warrant Staff or Principal.

The minimum qualification hard-gates on 'mastery of an object-oriented programming language (preferably Java)' — Java is the only named language and is explicitly preferred, so it is captured as a required skill. All other technologies appear exclusively under Preferred Qualifications.

The 5-year minimum experience figure comes from the 'Minimum Years of Work Experience: 5' field; the '7+ years' figure appears only under Preferred Qualifications.

The degree requirement states 'bachelor's degree program or equivalent degree' — because equivalent experience is accepted, this is treated as no hard degree gate.

Compensation is stated as a bare range '$140,000.00 – $240,000.00' with no explicit period label in the posting; however, the figures are consistent with an annual salary for this role type. The period is recorded as Year based on the magnitude and context of the figures.

Caller marked this a fully-remote role — scored against the national candidate pool.
