Why we read it this way (8)
The title carries no seniority level, but the requirements (5+ years, 2+ years of architecture contribution, mentoring, squad-wide design guidance) support a Senior classification.
The technology stack — Python (FastAPI, Pydantic, NumPy, Pandas), React, Node.js, and GraphQL — is listed under 'What You'll Bring' as a required willingness to learn the stack; all named tools are treated as hard gates on that basis.
AWS is listed as preferred ('AWS preferred') but sits inside the required qualifications block; it is treated as a hard gate on cloud experience, with AWS as the preferred platform. Azure and GCP are listed as alternatives.
Snowflake and Airflow are explicitly flagged as 'preferred' within the qualifications section and are marked accordingly.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience,' which means equivalent experience is accepted in lieu of a degree — degree requirement is therefore None.
The role requires 3 days per week in the Austin, TX headquarters; it is not fully remote.
Several potential team assignments are described (Seller Services, Branding & Promotions, Lead Services, Agent Branding, Online Store, Performance & Insights) — this appears to be a pooled/multi-team hire rather than a single-team posting.
