Why we read it this way (7)
The role is titled 'Technical Lead' at 'Senior Level' — the advertised seniority is Senior. The actual requirements (8+ years, 3+ years leading teams, enterprise architecture ownership) are consistent with a Senior band; the tech-lead framing does not clearly reach Staff scope across multiple teams.
The posting lists two locations: LaVista, NE and Lenexa, KS. LaVista is in the Omaha-Council Bluffs CBSA; Lenexa is in the Kansas City metro (CBSA 28140). The Omaha CBSA is used as primary since it is listed first.
A Bachelor's degree in a relevant field is stated, but the posting explicitly notes 'Equivalent practical experience may be considered,' so no hard degree gate is applied.
MCP (Model Context Protocol), AI agents, Azure AI Foundry, and Docker appear in a 'Strong experience with' / 'Experience with' block under Technical Skills — these are treated as required given the firm gating language and the role's explicit focus on MCP delivery.
GraphQL, Databricks, Snowflake, and event-driven architecture appear in the Software Development responsibilities section (stack context) rather than a hard-requirements block, so they are marked preferred.
A2A (Agent-to-Agent) architectures and Spec-Driven Development appear under Preferred Qualifications and are marked preferred.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
