Why we read it this way (9)
The role is a hybrid of software engineering and internal consulting ('embedded AI partner'), making it a genuine fit for 15-1252 (building production agentic systems) with 15-1299 as a runner-up given the consultative/solutions-engineering framing.
The posting is marked '#LI-Hybrid' and the pay transparency cites Los Angeles, CA — the role is not fully remote.
The 6+ years total experience requirement includes a sub-requirement of at least 3 years specifically in applied AI/agentic solutions; the 3-year AI sub-requirement is captured in the agentic systems skill context rather than as a separate the years demanded since it is a domain qualifier, not a per-named-technology gate.
MCP servers (Model Context Protocol) are explicitly called out as a required integration target alongside tool/function calling; listed as a distinct required skill.
LangChain is listed as the primary example of the required agentic framework, with LangGraph, LlamaIndex, AutoGen, CrewAI, and OpenAI Agents SDK named as interchangeable alternatives ('one or more … or similar').
Multi-agent systems design, workflow analysis/process mapping, and observability tooling (Datadog, LangSmith, Langfuse) all appear under the 'Strongly Preferred' heading.
Media/entertainment domain experience and AI governance/security review exposure also appear under 'Strongly Preferred' but name no specific technology, so they are omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
No degree requirement is stated anywhere in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): workflow analysis.
