Why we read it this way (7)

No work location is specified in the posting; the CBSA and state fields are left blank. The compensation disclosure language references 'any location with pay disclosure requirements under state or local law,' suggesting a US-based role but no specific metro.

The degree requirement is tiered: Bachelor's + 7 years, Master's + 6 years, or PhD + 2 years. The minimum hard gate is a Bachelor's degree; the overall years minimum is set to 6 (the lowest years figure paired with a degree above Bachelor's), though a candidate with a Bachelor's would need 7 years.

The role is classified as Software Developers (15-1252) because the primary day-to-day work is building and shipping CI/CD pipelines, full-stack applications, and backend services — not merely operating existing infrastructure. The runner-up 15-1244 reflects the meaningful DevOps/platform operations component.

AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, OpenAI) are listed under Required; the named tools are captured as alternatives since any one satisfies the requirement.

Backend programming language/framework and frontend framework are required by the JD but no specific technology is named in the Required section — they appear only as examples under Preferred (.NET, Python, React). Those are marked preferred accordingly.

The posting mentions a compensation range exists but does not disclose the actual figures, so no comp values are extracted.

Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): AI-assisted development tools.
