Why we read it this way (6)
The role is a people-management position (Software Development Manager) with direct reports, hiring authority, and team leadership as primary responsibilities — mapped to 11-3021. The alt SOC 15-1252 reflects that the JD also emphasizes hands-on architectural involvement (whiteboarding multi-region replication, design/architecture discussions).
The Basic Qualifications list four distinct experience gates, each with its own year count: 3+ years managing engineering teams, 7+ years working within engineering teams, 3+ years designing/architecting systems, and 8+ years leading multi-tier web services definition and development. The 7-year 'working within engineering teams' figure is used as the overall years minimum as the broadest role-level requirement; the others are captured as skill-level year demands where a named capability exists.
The degree requirement is a hard gate: 'Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field' appears in Basic Qualifications with no 'or equivalent experience' escape clause.
All Preferred Qualifications items (stakeholder communication, recruiting/mentoring, engineering lifecycle practices) are listed under an explicitly secondary 'Preferred Qualifications' heading and are not emitted as required skills. No specific named technologies appear there.
No specific technology stack (languages, frameworks, cloud services beyond AWS broadly) is named as a hard gate anywhere in the posting; AWS is mentioned only as the platform context and appears under preferred/narrative framing.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): engineering team management, multi-tier web services, system design.
