Rare in this occupation — lead with these, and say what you built with them.
What the occupation pays Median $135,980 (middle half $105,210–$171,980).
Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (6)
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree … or relevant work experience', making the degree non-mandatory; degree requirement is set to None accordingly.
The '5-7 years' figure is tied specifically to Spring Boot and Java17+, not to overall experience; the overall years minimum is set to 5 (the lower bound of that range) as the closest proxy for a role-level gate, since no separate overall experience figure is stated.
The 'Preferred' section heading covers everything from Git onward through Jira/Confluence; all skills under that heading are marked preferred.
Angular and TypeScript are listed together as 'Angular, TypeScript or similar technologies' — they are distinct tools used together in the same stack rather than true drop-in substitutes, so they are emitted as a single skill entry with TypeScript in alternatives to reflect the 'or similar' framing.
Docker and Kubernetes appear together under 'Familiarity with Docker/Kubernetes' — listed as a pair with only familiarity required; emitted as one entry with Kubernetes in alternatives.
Jenkins is called out explicitly as a plus within the CI/CD preferred item; CI/CD is emitted separately as a preferred skill capturing the broader process requirement.
