Why we read it this way (7)
This role is based in the UK (GoHenry is a UK-headquartered company); no US work location is indicated. The US-based flag is set to false accordingly, and no CBSA/state is applicable.
The posting offers a hybrid/flexible arrangement ('GoFlex – Work from Home, Office, or a mix of both') but is not fully remote.
No salary or compensation figures are stated in the posting.
Datadog is listed under the requirements section but qualified with 'such as', indicating the specific tool is interchangeable; it is treated as preferred since the observability requirement itself is the hard gate, not the specific tool.
Cloudflare is explicitly called out as 'a bonus' in the requirements section, so it is marked as preferred.
PCI-DSS and SOC 2 compliance experience is mentioned as a contextual expectation but names no specific tool or platform, so it is not emitted as a skill.
No minimum years of overall experience are stated in the posting.
