Why we read it this way (6)
This is a people-management role (Manager of a developer advocacy team with direct reports, strategy ownership, and cross-functional influence), which maps to 11-3021. The alt code 15-1299 reflects the strong developer-relations and technical content dimension of the role.
The title carries no explicit seniority level ('Manager' without a modifier), so the title states no level. The 3+ years of team leadership and 5+ years of software development requirements, combined with org-level strategy ownership, support a Senior band.
'Software development' and 'team leadership' are listed as hard-required under Basic Qualifications with explicit year minimums; 'developer-facing content or programs' is also required but names no specific technology or tool and is therefore omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
AWS and developer relations appear only in the Preferred Qualifications section and in narrative context, so they are marked preferred.
Compensation includes sign-on payments and RSUs in addition to the stated base salary range.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): software development, team leadership.
