Why we read it this way (7)
The title is 'API Developer' but the internal framing is 'Application Developer, Advanced Technology (Senior)' — the role is a general full-stack/cloud application developer, not narrowly an API specialist. SOC 15-1252 (Software Developers) was chosen over 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) because the JD emphasizes design, development, and implementation of applications and architecture rather than pure systems analysis.
The advertised seniority is Senior (from the internal title), but the stated experience requirements — 3+ years of computer experience and 1+ year of web development — are quite low and more consistent with a Mid-level role.
The degree requirement accepts 5 years of equivalent experience in lieu of a Bachelor's degree, so no minimum degree is hard-gated.
A Master's degree is explicitly noted as preferred, not required.
The technology list (HTML, CGI, Perl or JavaScript, Java) appears in the 'What You'll Need' requirements section. Perl and JavaScript are listed as interchangeable alternatives ('PERL or Javascript'), so they are combined into one skill entry.
Salesforce is mentioned in the responsibilities section as a required design/development platform, not under a preferred/nice-to-have heading, so it is treated as a hard gate.
No compensation figures were provided despite the posting referencing a 'pay range' — the actual range was not included in the text.
