Why we read it this way (5)
The title is bare 'Software Engineers' with no level modifier; advertised seniority is Unspecified. The 2–5 year experience range and scope of work (contributing to team-owned services, no cross-org technical leadership) support a Mid-level classification.
AWS and Kubernetes are listed under the requirements section with 'preferably' as a substitution qualifier, meaning the cloud/container capability is a hard gate but the specific tools are interchangeable; AWS is named as primary with common cloud alternatives noted.
Relational and/or NoSQL databases are required but no specific database product is named; captured generically as 'databases'.
Event-driven architecture, observability/monitoring platforms, microservices, cloud security/secrets management, and AI tooling interest all appear under 'Preferred Qualifications' and are marked accordingly.
The role lists two primary office locations (Richmond, VA and Arlington, VA) plus US-wide remote; Richmond is used as the primary CBSA. The Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV CBSA (47900) is also relevant for the Arlington office.
