Why we read it this way (7)
The title 'Application Development Manager' is somewhat misleading — the JD describes a primarily hands-on senior Java developer role with a coordination/intent-management component (15–25% of time), not a people-management role with direct reports, hiring, or budget ownership. Classified as Software Developers (15-1252) rather than Computer and Information Systems Managers (11-3021), with the latter as the runner-up given the coordination duties.
The role is listed for both Lynchburg, VA and Richmond, VA; Lynchburg is used as the primary CBSA since it is listed first.
A 4-year degree is listed as required but the JD explicitly accepts 'relevant equivalent experience' in lieu of a degree, so degree requirement is treated as None.
Eclipse appears in the stack description ('QUEST is a home-grown JAVA based … system that uses various tools but not limited to … Eclipse') rather than in a formal requirements section; treated as preferred context.
Agile (Scrum/Kanban) experience is listed under 'Additional Qualifications' and framed as preferred.
Cloud/cloud migration experience is listed under 'Additional Qualifications' but names no specific platform, so it is omitted from the skills list as it lacks a concrete, canonical tool name.
LTC insurance domain knowledge is listed under 'Additional Qualifications' as a plus; omitted from skills as it is a domain concept rather than a named technology.
