Why we read it this way (8)
This is a people-management role (Engineering Manager) with direct reports, hiring responsibilities, and team leadership — mapped to 11-3021. A runner-up of 15-1252 is noted because the JD also emphasizes hands-on technical judgment and architecture review.
The title 'Software Engineering Manager' carries no explicit seniority level word, so the title states no level; the 9+ years of development experience plus 1+ year of management experience supports a Senior band.
Compensation figures shown are for Zone A (CA, WA, NYC) — $229K–$343K. Zone B is $218K–$326K and Zone C is $195K–$292K. The role is also eligible for RSUs. Snap's headquarters is in Santa Monica, CA (Los Angeles CBSA), used as the primary location.
The JD requires experience in 'mobile, platform, or security-sensitive environments' as a hard gate but names no specific mobile platform in the required section; iOS and Android appear only under Preferred Qualifications.
AI tools proficiency is listed under Knowledge/Skills/Abilities as 'proficiency in, or a strong aptitude for' — framed as a soft aptitude rather than a hard gate on a specific named tool, so it is marked preferred.
The role follows a 'default together' in-office policy (4+ days/week), so remote is false.
Degree requirement: the JD accepts equivalent practical experience in lieu of a Bachelor's degree ('or equivalent years of practical work experience'), so technically the degree requirement could be None; however, the posting leads with a Bachelor's as the primary stated minimum and the equivalency is a fallback — treated as Bachelors per the schema guidance.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): mobile client development.
