Why we read it this way (6)
The job title is 'Lead Amazon Connect Developer' but no seniority band (Senior, Staff, etc.) appears in the title itself, so advertised seniority is Unspecified. The 8-year overall experience floor and 6-year AWS/Java/Python gate, combined with the scope of the role (enterprise-scale architecture, AI orchestration, cross-team collaboration), support a Senior classification.
The 6-year minimum applies jointly to Java, Python, and the listed AWS services (Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, IAM, CloudWatch) as stated in the 'Required Technical Skills' section; the years demanded is set on each of those skills accordingly.
Amazon Connect Streams API appears in the objectives/responsibilities narrative rather than in the explicit requirements or minimum qualifications sections, so it is marked preferred.
No work location (city, state, or remote status) is specified in the posting beyond the compensation note that pay is 'based on the role's location.' The role is assumed US-based but CBSA cannot be determined. The in-person interview requirement suggests a physical office exists, so remote is set to false.
The alternative occupation (15-1299) reflects a secondary consideration: the role is heavily specialized around a single platform (Amazon Connect) with AI/contact-center orchestration duties that sit at the edge of standard software development, though 15-1252 is clearly the best fit.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Amazon Connect Streams API.
