Why we read it this way (8)
Location is not specified in the posting; no city, state, or remote designation is given. The CBSA is left blank. The role may be remote or at one of Re:Build's facilities — hiring managers should confirm.
The title 'backend engineer' carries no seniority level, so advertised seniority is Unspecified. The 6+ years of industry experience and 6–10 years of C++ experience support a Senior classification.
Degree requirement is None: the JD states 'A Bachelor's in CS and 6+ years in industry, OR equivalent work experience,' making the degree substitutable.
Export control language requires US citizenship, permanent residency, refugee, or asylee status — not a security clearance gate, so the clearance requirement is None.
CMake and Conan/vcpkg appear under the essentials section with 'familiarity' language but are listed as required qualifications; treated as hard gates. Conan2 is listed as preferred over vcpkg, reflected in the alternatives ordering.
AWS is listed as preferred over Azure/GCP within the same required cloud-familiarity gate; alternatives reflect the other named options.
CAD/CAM file formats (STEP, BREP, STL, OBJ), G-code/toolpaths/machining simulation, OpenGL/WebGL/three.js, OpenCASCADE/Parasolid/ACIS, and prior startup experience all appear under the explicit 'Nice to have' section.
CUDA and distributed compute are described in the narrative as 'a strong plus but not required' — treated as preferred.
