Why we read it this way (7)
The posting lists SF, Austin, NYC, and Bangalore as office locations with no explicit remote option — treated as in-office/hybrid, not fully remote.
The role has a Bangalore location, meaning some hires may be outside the US; however, the primary framing is a US-based company and the posting is not exclusively non-US, so the US-based flag is set to true. The India Provident Fund benefit confirms international hiring.
No specific backend language, frontend framework, or infrastructure technology is named anywhere in the posting — the JD is deliberately stack-agnostic. The only concrete technical signals are backend services/APIs, LLMs/coding agents, and systems design fundamentals.
The 'AI-native workflow' requirement (active use of LLMs and modern coding agents) is stated in the 'What We're Looking For' requirements section with firm language, so it is treated as a hard gate.
'Experience as a founder, or as an early engineer at a startup' is listed as a requirement but describes a career background rather than a named technology or tool, so it is captured in the notes rather than as a skill.
No compensation figures are provided.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): systems design.
