Why we read it this way (7)
This is a C-suite (CTO) people-management role with full ownership of engineering, infrastructure, and technical architecture, reporting to the CEO — clearly 11-3021.
The posting is light on specific named technologies; the concrete technical requirements center on AI-augmented development workflows, CI/CD/agile practices, APIs, and infrastructure/security posture — all stated as hard requirements in the role description.
Two-sided marketplace platform experience is listed under 'Nice to Have' and is marked accordingly.
The NYC base salary range of $300,000–$350,000 is stated explicitly; a London range of £200,000–£250,000 is also offered but USD is used here as the primary figure. The London figure cannot be represented in the same fields.
Location is listed as New York or London, or East Coast Remote. The role is classified as US-primary (NYC) with remote eligibility; the London option makes this a genuinely dual-geography posting.
No minimum years of experience are stated explicitly at the role level, though the framing ('you've led engineering organizations through periods of significant change') implies substantial seniority.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): two-sided marketplace platforms.
