Why we read it this way (8)
The role is a strong IC Software Developer (15-1252) but carries explicit team-lead and mentoring duties ('Lead the software development team, mentoring junior developers'), which creates some overlap with 11-3021 (Computer and Information Systems Managers). The IC/hands-on coding emphasis is dominant, so 15-1252 is the primary classification.
The minimum qualifications state 'BS/MS in computer science' — a Bachelor's is the floor, so the degree requirement is set to Bachelors. The preferred qualifications separately call out an MS with 8+ years.
The experience range in minimum qualifications is stated as '5-10 years'; total years minimum is set to 5 (the lower bound). The preferred section separately calls for 8+ years.
MySQL is listed as an example alongside PostgreSQL and MongoDB under a single relational/NoSQL databases requirement; all three are captured with MySQL as the primary and the others as alternatives.
Python and JavaScript appear in the minimum qualifications but are explicitly framed as 'a plus' ('A plus with server-side languages such as Python, JavaScript'), so they are marked as preferred despite appearing in the minimum qualifications section.
CI/CD is listed as a responsibility ('Manage DevOps processes, including CI/CD') rather than a named qualifications gate, but given the explicit ownership language it is treated as a hard requirement for this role.
AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure appear under Preferred Qualifications as interchangeable cloud platform options; AWS is used as the primary with the others as alternatives.
IEC 62304 (medical device software standard) appears under Preferred Qualifications and is marked as preferred accordingly.
