Why we read it this way (6)
This role is based in Bogotá, Colombia — US salary benchmarks do not apply.
The title 'Líder de Proyecto' (Project/Tech Lead) implies people management (mentoring, leading frontend and backend developers, defining team technical strategy), which points to 11-3021. However, the posting also emphasizes hands-on technical depth (Java, microservices, observability tooling), making 15-1252 a plausible runner-up.
Observability tools DataDog, Kibana, and New Relic are listed together as a single requirement; DataDog is used as the primary name with the others captured as alternatives since any of the three satisfies the requirement.
No explicit total years of experience or degree requirement is stated in the posting.
No compensation figures are provided.
This role's work location reads as outside the US — the candidate pool, comp, and contention benchmarks here are US-only (BLS employment, Adzuna/USAJOBS demand, and certified H-1B wages), so treat them as a rough US reference, not a local market.
