Why we read it this way (7)
The title 'Software Development Engineer' carries no explicit seniority level; advertised seniority is Unspecified. The minimum experience gate is 3+ years of professional software development, which maps to Mid-level, despite the role's scope (mentoring juniors, architecture decisions) leaning toward Senior — the lower band is used per tiebreaker rules.
The language requirement (C#, C++, Java, or Perl) is listed as a single interchangeable gate in the Basic Qualifications; C# is used as the primary name with the others as alternatives.
The degree requirement is a Bachelor's in CS, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field with no 'or equivalent experience' escape clause, so it is treated as a hard requirement.
Machine learning integration is described in the role narrative and responsibilities but does not appear as a named technology gate in either the Basic or Preferred Qualifications sections; it is listed as preferred.
The Preferred Qualifications section mentions full SDLC experience (coding standards, code reviews, source control, build processes, testing, operations) but names no specific tools or technologies, so no additional skill entries are emitted for it.
Compensation is quoted as a base salary range for the Bellevue, WA location; the package also includes sign-on payments and RSUs per the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): object-oriented design.
