Why we read it this way (6)
No work location is specified in the posting beyond 'US base salary range'; the role appears to be US-based but the city/metro is unknown — CBSA left blank.
The title carries no seniority level ('iOS Engineer' or similar implied), so advertised seniority is Unspecified; the 5+ years requirement and end-to-end ownership scope support a Senior classification.
The compensation range ($180K–$450K) is unusually wide, likely reflecting equity-heavy early-stage startup packages; the posting notes total comp may include additional components.
async/await and Combine are listed together as concurrency pattern options; async/await is named as primary with Combine as an alternative.
AVFoundation and Core ML appear only under the 'Bonus Qualifications' section and are treated as preferred.
Streaming APIs are called out as a required integration pattern but name no specific technology beyond REST; no separate skill entry was created for the generic concept.
