Why we read it this way (6)
The posting does not specify a city; Cisco Meraki is headquartered in San Francisco, CA, so the San Francisco CBSA is used as the best available location estimate.
The salary range of $155,000–$222,600 is the general US/Canada range; state-specific ranges are also provided (e.g., NYC metro $155,000–$256,000, non-metro NY/WA $138,100–$227,900).
C and C++ are listed together as a single requirement ('Experience writing code in C/C++'); they are captured as one skill with C++ as an alternative since the posting treats them interchangeably.
Edge computing experience appears under Preferred Qualifications but names no specific technology or tool, so it is omitted per the generic-concept rule.
Container technologies are listed under Preferred Qualifications with LXC and Docker as named examples; captured as a single preferred skill with Docker as the alternative.
Git is listed under Preferred Qualifications ('specifically Git'), so it is marked preferred despite the specificity of the call-out.
