Why we read it this way (5)
The compensation range is stated as 'USD $148,000 - CAD $185,000' — this appears to be a copy/paste error in the posting; the upper bound is almost certainly USD $185,000 (not CAD). The figures have been captured as-is; verify with the recruiter.
SOC classification is a judgement call: this role is primarily a Workday platform engineer (integrations, Extend custom apps, Prism pipelines) with an AI/LLM component. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used because the work is centered on a proprietary enterprise platform (Workday) rather than general software development; 15-1252 (Software Developers) is a credible alternative given the custom application development and AI engineering scope.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) server experience appears in both the required responsibilities section and the preferred qualifications section. It is listed as a concrete responsibility ('Develop and maintain MCP servers…') but the explicit years-of-experience gate appears only under Preferred, so it has been marked preferred.
Qualtrics, Docebo, Udemy, and Greenhouse are mentioned as platforms the role will own/support but are not listed as experience requirements — they have been omitted from the skills list.
The role is hybrid (3 days/week in-office in San Francisco); it is not fully remote.
