Why we read it this way (8)
The role is Developer Relations — a hybrid of technical advocacy, content creation, community engagement, and internal product feedback. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is the best fit for this non-standard occupation; 15-1252 (Software Developers) is a plausible runner-up given the hands-on coding responsibilities (sample code, reference implementations, agentic solutions).
Multiple locations are listed (New York, NY; Mountain View, CA; San Francisco, CA). New York is listed first; the CBSA reflects that location, but the role could be based at any of the three.
The minimum qualification is a Bachelor's degree in CS or a similar technical field OR equivalent practical experience — degree requirement is therefore not a hard gate.
The 7-year experience requirement is stated at the role level ('7 years of work experience in a technical role') with no specific technology named, so it is captured as total experience rather than a per-skill requirement.
All AI/LLM-related skills (LLMs, RAG, LangChain/MCP, evaluation systems) appear exclusively under 'Preferred qualifications' and are marked accordingly.
'Software engineering' is listed as an example of a qualifying technical role in the minimum qualifications; it is the primary named technical domain but is illustrative of the experience type rather than a strict technology gate — captured as a must-have to reflect the hard requirement for a technical background.
Compensation is stated as $192,000–$279,000/year plus a 20% bonus target and equity; the bonus and equity are noted here as they are not captured in the comp fields.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): software engineering.
