Why we read it this way (5)

The Forward Deployed Engineer role blends hands-on full-stack/integration coding with customer-facing systems analysis work, making it a genuine hybrid between Software Developers (15-1252) and Computer Systems Analysts (15-1211). The emphasis on end-to-end implementation, hacking integrations, and full-stack features tips the primary classification to 15-1252.

The hard coding requirement lists JavaScript, C++, Python, Rust, or 'similar languages' as interchangeable options — JavaScript is used as the primary name with the others captured as alternatives. TypeScript, Python, and Node.js appear only in the 'Technologies We Use' stack narrative section, so they are marked preferred.

GitHub Actions, Terraform, and Spacelift appear only in the 'Technologies We Use' stack narrative as 'industry-standard build tooling' — not in a requirements gate — so they are marked preferred. Spacelift is omitted as it is a niche Terraform wrapper with very limited independent recognition.

The role requires up to 50% travel to client sites; this is a hard operational requirement stated in the 'What We Require' section but is not a technology skill and cannot be represented in the skills list.

No minimum years of overall experience are stated. The scope (end-to-end ownership, executive-level customer engagement, startup-CTO analogy) and compensation range ($185K–$230K) support a Senior classification despite no explicit seniority label in the title.
