Why we read it this way (9)
This role is a genuine CTO/executive hire — it carries org-wide technical authority, executive partnership, and team-building from the ground up, which places it at the Principal band rather than Senior.
The alt SOC (15-1252 Software Developers) reflects the posting's strong emphasis on hands-on coding and individual-contributor output alongside the leadership mandate; the primary SOC (11-3021) wins because executive scope, team-building, and strategic vision are the defining responsibilities.
Bilingual English + Spanish is listed as a hard requirement in both the title block and the Required Qualifications section; it is not captured as a technical skill but is a genuine rejection criterion.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree … or equivalent experience,' so no formal degree is hard-gated.
Compensation is described only as 'competitive salary and benefits' — no figures are provided.
All languages, frameworks, cloud platforms, and AI tools appear exclusively under the 'Preferred Technical Experience' heading and are therefore preferred, not required. The required qualifications name only capability categories (cloud-native, distributed systems, CI/CD, DevOps, APIs) without specifying particular tools, so those categories are captured as must-have skills.
Java and C# are listed as a single slash-separated entry ('Java or C#') indicating interchangeability; they are emitted as one skill with C# as the alternative.
Event-driven architecture is listed under Preferred but names no specific tool or platform, so it is omitted per the instruction to exclude generic concepts with no named technology.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): cloud-native development.
