Why we read it this way (9)
The role has no fixed office location in the posting; Comcast notes it may consider fully remote candidates living more than 100 miles from an office, so remote=true is appropriate, though hybrid/on-site is the general preference.
Go is the primary required language going forward; the JD explicitly welcomes strong engineers with Java backgrounds who can ramp on Go quickly — Go and Java are listed together as satisfying the statically-typed language requirement, but Go is the clear primary.
Bachelor's degree is stated as 'preferred' and equivalent experience is explicitly accepted, so the degree requirement is set to None.
Lambda, EC2, DynamoDB, SNS, SQS, and SSM are all individually named under Required Qualifications as part of the AWS hands-on requirement and are treated as hard gates collectively.
Spring Boot and Micronaut appear only under Preferred Qualifications and are marked accordingly.
IoT/device-platform experience appears only under Preferred Qualifications.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
The title carries no seniority level word; the title states no level. The 7+ years requirement, end-to-end ownership, mentoring, and technical direction-setting scope support a Senior classification.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
