Why we read it this way (8)
The title carries no seniority level ('AI Agentic Workflow Engineer'), so the title states no level. The minimum experience gate is 2+ years with a BS/MS accepted, which maps to Mid; the upper end of the salary range ($195,500) and the scope of the role could support Senior, but the stated floor anchors the pool at Mid.
Degree requirement is None: the JD explicitly accepts 'equivalent experience' in lieu of a BS/MS.
SOC is Medium-confidence: this role sits at the intersection of AI/ML application development and DevOps automation. 15-1252 (Software Developers) is the best fit given the emphasis on building and shipping agentic software systems; 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is the runner-up given the novel 'AI Agentic Workflow Engineer' framing.
Build systems (CMake, Bazel, Make) are listed under 'What We Need to See' with 'familiarity with … or similar' language — the substitution qualifier means the specific tool is interchangeable, but the capability is a hard gate; alternatives are populated accordingly.
GitLab, Jenkins, Docker, Jira, LangChain, OpenAI/Anthropic/Hugging Face, MCP, and multi-agent architectures all appear under the 'Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd' (preferred/nice-to-have) section.
'Deterministic oracles', 'tool calling', 'structured outputs', and 'verification frameworks' are mentioned in the preferred section but name no specific product or tool, so they are omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
Equity and benefits are mentioned in addition to the stated base salary range.
