What this job asks for AI summary
A senior full-stack engineering role focused on building and maintaining Java microservices and React micro-frontend applications for a mortgage processing platform. Day-to-day work spans cloud-native infrastructure on Kubernetes, GitOps pipelines via ArgoCD, and observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, Jaeger). The position also involves mentoring less experienced engineers and suits someone with a decade or more of software or site reliability engineering experience.

Why we read it this way (6)
No work location is specified in the posting; CBSA and state are left blank. The role does not appear to be advertised as remote.
The required experience section gates on 'Java or React' (either/or), so both are captured as a single skill with alternatives. All other required skills (React TypeScript, Kubernetes, CI/CD) are listed as separate hard gates.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's Degree or the equivalent combination of education, training, or work experience,' which is treated as no hard degree gate since equivalent experience is explicitly accepted.
The role blends full-stack software development (Java, React) with SRE/platform engineering (Kubernetes, ArgoCD, Istio, observability). The primary day-to-day work is building and shipping software, so Software Developers (15-1252) is the primary classification; Network and Computer Systems Administrators (15-1244) is the runner-up given the significant SRE/infrastructure scope.
Despite the 'Principal Engineer' title and 10+ years requirement, the role's scope — contributing to a team platform, mentoring less experienced engineers, and working within an Agile SDLC — is consistent with a Senior individual contributor rather than a true org-wide Principal. The advertised seniority reflects the title literally.
AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode) appear only under Preferred and are listed as a comfort/familiarity item; captured as preferred.
