Why we read it this way (5)
The posting title is 'Dir. of Software Engineering' throughout the body but the closing paragraph refers to the role as 'VP of Software Engineering' — the level is clearly Director/VP (org-wide leadership), mapped to Principal.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's or Master's' — Bachelor's is treated as the minimum hard gate; Master's is not required.
Java, Python, and Ruby are listed as interchangeable options for the required programming language proficiency; Java is used as the primary with Python and Ruby as alternatives.
Agile, Scrum, and Kanban are listed as interchangeable methodology options; Agile is used as the primary with Scrum and Kanban as alternatives.
Familiarity with payments and accounting is explicitly called 'a plus' and has been omitted from the skills list as it names a domain rather than a concrete technology or tool.
