Why we read it this way (7)
The title 'Software Manager' carries no explicit seniority level word, so advertised seniority is Unspecified; the actual requirements (7 years engineering + 2–3 years people management, delivery ownership, architecture involvement) support a Senior band.
The JD accepts a Bachelor's degree OR equivalent practical experience, so no formal degree is hard-gated.
Jira is listed as an example ('e.g. Jira') alongside Confluence under the required tooling section; both are treated as hard-gated on the capability (issue tracking / collaboration platforms), with each named as an alternative to the other since the JD groups them together as a single tooling requirement.
Cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP), infrastructure as code, and observability tooling appear only under the 'Desirable Skills' section and are therefore preferred.
The posting states applicants must be U.S. Citizens; no specific security clearance is mentioned as a gate, though the reference to public sector / regulated environments suggests clearance may be relevant in practice.
No compensation figures are provided; only a 'competitive base salary with performance-related bonus' is mentioned.
Location is described as hybrid in the DMV Area (Washington DC metro).
