Why we read it this way (6)
The role is a hybrid 'AI Enablement Engineer' — part internal-tools builder, part trainer/consultant. It sits most naturally under Software Developers (15-1252) given the emphasis on building working solutions with LLM APIs and writing code, but 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is a reasonable runner-up given the heavy enablement and training component.
Python and JavaScript are listed as alternatives ('Python or JavaScript') — one is required but the posting does not gate on both independently.
Claude API (with OpenAI API as an alternative) is explicitly required; system prompts and context engineering are called out as 'strongly preferred', so they are marked preferred.
The posting explicitly states '100% work from office' at Nearwater's New York City headquarters — this role is fully on-site.
Compensation is described only as 'attractive market compensation and benefits package' — no figures are provided.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Agent design, Workflow automation, Context engineering.
