Why we read it this way (6)
The role is titled simply 'Mainframe Developer' with no seniority modifier, but the requirements (5+ years, SME responsibilities, mentoring junior developers, cross-functional coordination) clearly support a Senior-level classification.
A Bachelor's degree in a technical discipline is listed under required qualifications but the posting explicitly allows 'equivalent practical experience' as a substitute, so no minimum degree is hard-gated.
Easytrieve (EZtrieve) is explicitly called 'preferred' in the requirements section, so it is marked as preferred.
Endevor and Control-M appear in the required qualifications section with firm language ('experience with'), so they are treated as hard gates.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: mainframe COBOL development sits between 15-1252 Software Developers and 15-1251 Computer Programmers; 15-1252 is chosen as the better fit given the design, architecture, and enhancement responsibilities described.
