Why we read it this way (8)
This role is titled 'Manager' and explicitly requires 5 years of managing a technical customer-facing team (listed under Preferred), but the primary day-to-day responsibilities described — troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, customer advocacy, and technical consulting — are heavily hands-on IC work. 11-3021 (Computer and Information Systems Managers) was chosen because the title and team-management framing are explicit; 15-1244 is the runner-up given the networking/systems operations depth required.
The 13-year experience requirement is stated at the role level (troubleshooting and customer advocacy), not tied to a specific technology.
The posting lists two locations (Sunnyvale, CA and Austin, TX); Sunnyvale/San Jose CBSA is used as the primary metro since it is listed first.
The degree requirement accepts 'equivalent practical experience' in lieu of a Bachelor's degree, so the degree requirement is set to None.
The coding language requirement (Java, C, C++, Python, Shell, Perl, or JavaScript) is a hard gate but any one of the listed languages satisfies it; Java is used as the primary with the others as alternatives.
The 10-year technical consulting experience and 5-year team management experience appear under Preferred qualifications, so those skills are marked preferred.
Compensation is stated as $222,000–$309,000/year plus a 25% bonus target and equity; only the base salary range is captured in the comp fields.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Packet capture/analysis.
