Why we read it this way (7)
No work location or city is specified in the posting; CBSA and state fields are left blank. The role appears to be on-site or hybrid given the embedded/hardware nature of the work, but the JD does not explicitly state this.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is primarily about building and shipping software tooling (build systems, CI/CD pipelines, container images, Linux system images) which maps to Software Developers (15-1252), but the heavy Linux system administration and infrastructure operations content (kernel config, systemd, networking, real-time tuning) creates a genuine pull toward 15-1244.
The 5+ years requirement is explicitly tied to build systems/CMake experience; it also functions as the overall role-level experience floor and is reflected in the overall years minimum.
CircleCI is listed as the preferred CI/CD platform but the JD explicitly names GitHub Actions and GitLab CI as acceptable alternatives; these are captured in the alternatives array.
Jetpack SDK / L4T / Yocto are listed as interchangeable options for Linux system image building; Yocto is captured as an alternative.
PREEMPT_RT, ZED SDK, and related BSP/camera integration skills appear under the 'Preferred' section and are marked accordingly.
The compensation range ($100K–$250K) is unusually wide for a single role, likely reflecting the startup's flexibility to hire at different experience levels.
