Why we read it this way (9)
The title 'Software Engineer (SME / Subject Matter Expert)' carries no standard seniority level word, so advertised seniority is Unspecified; however, the 15+ years requirement and SME framing clearly support a Senior classification.
The degree requirement accepts 'equivalent combination of education, technical certifications or training, or work experience,' so no minimum formal degree is hard-gated.
Vue, React, and Angular are listed as interchangeable alternatives under a single frontend-framework requirement; Vue is named first.
Hibernate and JPA are listed together as a single requirement; both names are captured.
Git is the required VCS; GitHub and GitLab appear as illustrative hosting platforms and are captured as alternatives.
Gradle, Maven, and Jenkins are listed together as interchangeable build-automation options under Desired Skills.
JUnit and Cypress are listed together as interchangeable testing-framework options under Desired Skills.
Shell scripting appears alongside Linux/Windows under Desired Skills but names no specific tool beyond the OS context; it is subsumed in the Linux/Windows skill.
The salary range ($185,057–$250,371/year) is described as a 'likely' range, not a guarantee.
