Why we read it this way (7)
This posting covers two levels simultaneously — Senior Associate (5–8 years) and VP/Lead (5–10 years with 2–3 years leading projects). The role is classified as Senior based on the scope and experience requirements that apply to both levels; the VP framing adds leadership/mentoring duties but does not push the role to Staff given the small-team context and absence of org-wide technical authority.
The degree requirement ('Degree in a related field, such as computer science…') is listed under qualifications without an explicit 'or equivalent experience' escape clause, so it is treated as a hard requirement. The minimum degree level implied is a bachelor's.
AWS, Airflow, Git, Bash, and Jira are explicitly called 'a strong plus' in the qualifications section, making them preferred rather than required despite appearing in the same qualifications block.
