Why we read it this way (5)
The job title is 'Software Engineer 3', which maps to a numeric level III — treated as a Mid-level advertised title per the level numbering convention, though the 5+ years requirement and end-to-end ownership scope support a Senior classification.
The stack (TypeScript, GraphQL, Temporal, Postgres, AWS) is listed in a narrative 'Our stack includes…' section rather than a formal requirements block. However, given that the role explicitly works within these systems day-to-day and no alternative stack is mentioned, all five are captured. AWS is marked as a hard gate given the firm 'you are comfortable working across backend and frontend systems' framing and the stack being the only one described; the others follow the same reasoning.
CI/CD, A/B testing, and feature flags appear in narrative context describing how the team ships software — not in a requirements section — so they are marked as preferred.
The compensation range ($165,000–$180,000 USD/year) is explicitly noted as NYC market data; the posting states the range may differ for applicants outside NYC.
No formal degree requirement is stated anywhere in the posting.
