Why we read it this way (7)
The title used in the posting is 'Lead Software Engineer', but no seniority level is encoded in that title per the schema's bands — 'Lead' here describes a role combining hands-on coding with technical leadership rather than a distinct ladder level, and the requirements (5–8+ years, no org-wide scope) support Senior.
The degree requirement is stated as 'preferred' (Bachelor's or Associate's), so no minimum degree is hard-gated.
Python with 5–8+ years is listed as a hard requirement; FastAPI is called out as 'preferably using the FastAPI framework', so it is marked preferred.
JavaScript/TypeScript (3–5+ years) is a hard requirement; React is explicitly 'preferred' within that requirement.
SQL and relational database design are stated as a hard requirement ('strong proficiency'); Microsoft SQL Server is noted as 'considered an asset', so it is marked preferred.
API design and integration is listed as a hard requirement but names no specific technology; captured as REST as the canonical representation of the API integration work described.
The posting is listed via Jobgether on behalf of an unnamed partner company; the actual employer is not disclosed.
