Why we read it this way (6)
This is a people-management role with direct team leadership, mentoring, and delivery accountability — classified as Computer and Information Systems Managers (11-3021). The alt code 15-1252 reflects that the JD also emphasizes hands-on technical leadership and architectural standards.
The degree requirement (Bachelor's in CS or related field) is explicitly waivable via 'equivalent combination of related education, training and experience may be considered in place of the above qualifications' — set to None accordingly.
AWS is listed alongside Kubernetes, Docker, cloud-native architectures, microservices, and event-driven architectures in a single required-qualifications bullet. AWS is named as the primary cloud platform; Azure and GCP are listed as alternatives since the JD says 'AWS' specifically but the broader cloud-native context suggests substitutability.
Microservices and event-driven architectures appear together in one required bullet; microservices is captured as the primary named pattern. Event-driven architecture is a methodology/pattern rather than a named tool and is omitted per skill-naming rules.
DevOps, Generative AI, and AI-assisted development tools appear under the 'Additional Competencies' section, which reads as aspirational/preferred rather than a hard gate — listed as preferred accordingly.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
