Why we read it this way (9)
The role is listed under a 'Software Engineer' title with no seniority modifier, but the 5-year experience requirement, ownership of processes, and potential lead responsibilities over junior associates support a Senior classification.
The primary work location is Hoover, AL (Riverchase Operations Center); Birmingham, AL and Atlanta, GA are also listed as available locations. The CBSA reflects the primary/listed location.
IBM z/OS, COBOL, JCL, VSAM, DB2, CICS, and job scheduling are listed together in the Skills and Competencies section as a block describing the third-party hosted application environment — treated as hard requirements given their placement in the requirements-adjacent skills section alongside firm language.
Connect Direct and Axway for file transmission are similarly listed in the Skills and Competencies section and treated as hard requirements.
API and JSON are explicitly framed as 'knowledge for future state,' indicating they are forward-looking context rather than current gates — marked as preferred accordingly.
Job scheduling is mentioned alongside the mainframe stack but names no specific scheduler product (e.g., TWS, CA7); no skill was emitted for it as it lacks a canonical tool name.
Rewards experience is listed as 'preferred' and banking experience as 'useful' — both are soft preferences with no named technology, so neither was emitted as a skill.
The compensation figures ($110,947.10 minimum / $140,690.00 median) are described as Metropolitan Statistical Area market range targets, not a guaranteed pay band. The median is used as the max figure since no explicit maximum is stated.
The posting states Regions will not sponsor work visas and will not provide relocation assistance.
