Why we read it this way (8)
This role is based in Pune, India — US compensation benchmarks do not apply.
The title 'Tech Lead' carries no explicit seniority level word; advertised seniority is treated as Unspecified. The 5–8 years of hands-on experience requirement and the scope of the role support a Senior classification.
The posting experience range is stated as '5 to 8' years; the overall years minimum is set to 5 (the lower bound).
Java is listed with versions 17 or 21 in the description; Spring/Spring Boot is a co-listed must-have.
Kafka is listed as a must-have ('Skills Must have'); RabbitMQ appears in the microservices architecture narrative as an alternative async protocol and is captured as an alternative.
OpenFeign appears only in the microservices architecture narrative section, not in the explicit 'Must have' list, so it is marked preferred.
Alfresco CMS is explicitly called out under 'Good to have' and is therefore marked preferred.
This role's work location reads as outside the US — the candidate pool, comp, and contention benchmarks here are US-only (BLS employment, Adzuna/USAJOBS demand, and certified H-1B wages), so treat them as a rough US reference, not a local market.
