Why we read it this way (6)
The job title is 'Lead Developer of Software Development Engineering' — the word 'Lead' is used in a technical/hands-on sense throughout the posting, not as a people-management title; the role is framed as a hands-on IC tech lead, so Senior is the appropriate seniority band.
A university degree 'or equivalent experience' is listed, so no formal degree is hard-gated.
Messaging and streaming technologies are mentioned as required but no specific platform (e.g. Kafka, RabbitMQ) is named, so no skill entry was created for that requirement.
Automated testing (unit, integration, acceptance) for data pipelines is explicitly called out as a must ('is a must'), but names no specific testing framework, so no named-tool skill entry was created.
Control-M, Harness, LaunchDarkly, mabl, Collibra, Informatica products, AWS/GCP, and financial services experience all appear under the 'Preferred Qualifications' section.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Spring Cloud Data Flow.
