Why we read it this way (4)
The posting also requires 'at least one greenfield application' in the candidate's track record — this is a scope/experience qualifier rather than a named technology, so it is not captured as a skill.
Equity of 0.2%–1% is offered alongside the salary range but cannot be represented in the compensation fields.
The role is hybrid (in-person in Boulder, CO three days a week), not fully remote.
A background as an athlete in a structured training program or as a coach is listed as a requirement ('What We're Looking For'), but it is a domain/background criterion rather than a technical skill and is not captured in the skills list — hiring managers should note this as an explicit cultural/domain gate.
