Why we read it this way (5)
Location is not stated anywhere in the posting; CBSA and state are left blank. The role may be remote or in-person at an unstated office.
The posting mentions 'vector DBs' as a required data-store integration but names no specific product (e.g. Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector); no skill was emitted for this since no concrete tool is named.
Container orchestration is listed as required alongside cloud provider experience, but no specific orchestrator is named in the requirements block — Kubernetes appears only under 'Nice to have' and is marked preferred accordingly.
The 2+ years of AI/ML application experience is a role-level gate stated in the requirements section; it is captured in the overall years minimum alongside the 3+ years of general software development (the higher figure, 3, is used as the overall minimum).
Compensation is described only as 'competitive pay' with no figures given.
