Why we read it this way (5)
Location is not specified in the posting; EchoStar/DISH is headquartered in Englewood, CO, but no city or remote status is stated. The role requires at least one in-person interview, suggesting a physical location exists, but it cannot be determined from the text alone.
Degree requirement is listed as 'Bachelor's Degree … or equivalent practical experience', so no hard degree gate applies.
Coroutines and Jetpack Compose appear under the 'Core Skills and Competencies (What you'll bring)' section rather than the explicit 'Required Technical Skills' block; they are captured but treated as preferred since the hard-gate 'Required Technical Skills' section names only Kotlin, Jetpack, ExoPlayer/Media3, streaming protocols, observability, CI/CD, and application lifecycle management.
DRM (digital rights management) is called out as 'critical experience' in the Core Skills section but does not appear by name in the 'Required Technical Skills' block; included as preferred.
Android TV, embedded Android, set-top box, live TV, and OEM/silicon vendor experience all appear under 'Additional Qualifications', which is a secondary, non-gating section.
