Why we read it this way (8)
The role has explicit people-management responsibilities — direct reports, performance reviews, pay reviews, staffing decisions, and budget ownership — making 11-3021 (Computer and Information Systems Managers) the right classification. 15-1252 is noted as a runner-up because the JD also emphasizes hands-on technical contribution.
The primary posting location is Houston, TX (One Allen Center); additional locations listed are Denver CO, Findlay OH, and San Antonio TX — these could not all be captured in a single CBSA field, so Houston is used as the primary.
C++, C#, and Java are presented as interchangeable options ('C++, C# or Java') in the requirements section; C++ is used as the primary with C# and Java as alternatives.
React (ReactJS), Blazor, and Angular are presented as interchangeable options in the requirements section; React is used as the primary with Blazor and Angular as alternatives.
SQL is extracted from the TSQL/PL/SQL requirement; both are dialects of SQL and the underlying requirement is relational database query language proficiency.
CI/CD, Terraform, Ansible, Azure DevOps, and automated testing are explicitly marked as preferred in the JD ('preferred' language used in that section).
Oil & Gas industry background is listed as preferred but names no specific technology or tool, so it is omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
The 3+ years of direct/indirect leadership experience is a role-level requirement captured in the summary; it is not tied to a named technology and so does not appear as a skill.
