Why we read it this way (7)
The role is explicitly required to be full-time onsite in San Diego, CA (5 days/week); remote is not available.
No overall years-of-experience requirement is stated in the posting.
Seniority is assessed as Mid: the posting carries no level modifier in the title ('Software Engineer'), and while the work is substantive, no explicit scope signals (e.g., leading teams, org-wide ownership) push it to Senior.
LangChain is listed as the primary example of an agentic framework under Must-Have, with 'Agno, etc.' as named alternatives; the broader requirement is for agentic framework experience.
Tracing/observability tools for LLM systems, Elasticsearch/vector search, Docker/Kubernetes, and multi-agent evaluation frameworks all appear under the explicit 'Nice-to-Have' section.
The alt SOC 15-2051 (Data Scientists) is noted because the role has meaningful ML/NLP/embeddings depth, but primary day-to-day work is software/application development (pipelines, APIs, agentic apps), making 15-1252 the stronger fit.
