Why we read it this way (5)
The title 'Engineering Manager' signals a people-management role (11-3021), but the posting places heavy emphasis on hands-on backend architecture, code reviews, and system design — making 15-1252 Software Developers a plausible alternative classification.
Python is listed first and most prominently, but the requirements section explicitly accepts Java or Go as alternatives; all three are captured under a single skill entry.
No location is stated in the posting; Boston, MA is inferred from Lendbuzz's known headquarters.
No compensation range is provided.
The 2+ years in a senior or lead position is a role-level qualifier, not a per-technology years demand, so it is not broken out as a separate skill.
