Why we read it this way (5)
The 10+ years experience requirement is stated jointly for WordPress and other PHP tools — it is a role-level gate, not a per-technology figure, so it is captured as the overall years minimum rather than on any individual skill.
The posting mentions 'AI-based workflows' as part of modern backend development practices but provides no specifics; no concrete tool or platform is named, so it is not emitted as a skill.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role centers on custom WordPress backend development (themes, plugins, integrations), which is application-level software development (15-1252) rather than page/site-level web work (15-1254). The WordPress/CMS context makes 15-1254 a plausible runner-up.
Location is listed as 'Remote (US)' with no specific metro; no CBSA is assigned.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): WordPress theme development, WordPress plugin development.
