Why we read it this way (7)
This is a people-management role (AVP Engineering) with direct reports, hiring authority, budget ownership, and cross-functional team leadership — classified accordingly as a Computer and Information Systems Managers role. The alt SOC (15-1252) reflects the JD's stated requirement for 10+ years of hands-on software development experience, but the primary day-to-day work is clearly managerial.
The title 'AVP Engineering' carries no standard seniority level word, so the title states no level. However, the scope — owning a full functional business area, sitting on the Technology Leadership Team, managing managers and team leads, and administering budgets — supports a Principal-level band.
Agile experience is listed under the Qualifications section with firm language ('Experience working in an agile environment') and is treated as a hard gate. Jira/SDLC and Scaled Agile are explicitly flagged as 'preferred' or 'a plus' in the same section.
A Bachelor's degree in CS, IT, or a related field is explicitly required; a Master's is preferred. Degree requirement is set to Bachelors.
Healthcare technology domain experience is noted as 'helpful' — not a hard gate — and names no specific technology or tool, so it is omitted from the skills list.
The 4+ years of management experience requirement is a role-level gate captured in the overall years minimum (the higher 10+ years figure); the management tenure is a scope qualifier rather than a named-technology years demand.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
