Why we read it this way (6)
The role is titled 'Senior Manager of Software Engineering' with direct people management (leading, mentoring, managing a team) as a primary responsibility, making 11-3021 the primary SOC. However, the posting strongly emphasizes hands-on technical contributions — coding, architecture, code reviews — so 15-1252 is a meaningful runner-up.
The cloud platform requirement lists AWS, Azure, and GCP as examples ('e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP'). AWS is used as the primary name with the others as alternatives, since all three are presented as interchangeable for satisfying the requirement.
Azure appears separately under Preferred Qualifications as a specific platform of interest, so it is also listed as a standalone preferred skill.
A Bachelor's degree is listed under Preferred Qualifications and is explicitly waivable with 4+ years of equivalent experience, so the degree requirement is set to None.
GraphQL and HTMX appear in the role description narrative and responsibilities but are only explicitly called out as preferred in the Preferred Qualifications section; they are marked preferred accordingly.
Agile/Scrum and DevOps/CI/CD are listed in the Required Qualifications section and are treated as hard gates.
