Why we read it this way (6)
Every skill in this posting appears under 'Preferred Qualifications' — the JD states no hard-required technologies. All skills are therefore marked preferred.
The minimum education requirement is a bachelor's degree 'or equivalent degree … or equivalent degree in a field of study related to the job,' which accepts equivalent experience; the degree requirement is set to None accordingly.
The role has a meaningful AI/ML component (LLMs, generative AI, MLOps, model evaluation), which creates some ambiguity between Software Developers (15-1252) and Data Scientists (15-2051); however, the overall framing — full-stack delivery, CI/CD, microservices, front-end, production support — is primarily software engineering, so 15-1252 is the primary classification.
The advertised title 'Software Engineer II' maps to a Mid-level band; the 1–3 years preferred experience and 2-year minimum are consistent with that level.
The $90,000–$170,000 salary range is unusually wide for a Mid-level role; the upper end likely reflects geographic or specialization variation across a national remote candidate pool.
