Why we read it this way (5)
The job title is 'Software Engineer 2', which maps to a mid-level (II) individual contributor role. The 4+ years experience requirement and scope (works with some autonomy, may mentor juniors, but no org-wide authority) also support Mid seniority.
The Bachelor's degree in Computer Science is explicitly stated as 'preferred', not required, and equivalent experience is accepted — so the degree requirement is set to None.
The posting lists a broad salary range ($73,300–$150,500/year), likely reflecting geographic and experience variation across multiple possible locations. Unum's headquarters is in Chattanooga, TN; no specific city is named in this posting.
Fineos Admin Suite (Claims) configuration and Java customizations are called out as a distinct, named-product requirement and are treated as hard gates given their placement in the requirements block.
