Why we read it this way (6)
The posting covers two locations — Marina del Rey, CA and Williamsburg, NY — with no remote option; the CBSA is set to Los Angeles (Marina del Rey) as the first-listed location, but a significant portion of hires may be based in the New York metro (CBSA 35620).
The title reads 'Senior/Staff Software Engineer' — both levels are explicitly in scope. Seniority is assessed as Senior because the posting's actual requirements (production ownership, judgment, no stated org-wide scope) align with Senior; Staff is the upper bound of the advertised range.
All named technologies (Python, MongoDB, AWS, Twilio, Datadog, Snowflake, Omni) appear only in the 'More About Us / tech stack' narrative section, not in a requirements block, so they are marked as preferred rather than hard gates.
Omni (the BI/analytics tool) was omitted from the skills list as it is a niche analytics product with limited signal for engineering candidate matching; it can be added if relevant to the role being filled.
No specific years of experience are stated; the posting explicitly says 'we don't count years.' the overall years minimum is left null accordingly.
The $200,000–$400,000 range is unusually wide and the posting notes final compensation varies by location, experience, and qualifications.
