Why we read it this way (8)
The role is posted with two possible locations — New York City ($130,000–$175,900/year) and Houston (compensation TBD). The NYC range is captured; Houston comp is not quantified in the posting.
The title carries no seniority level word, so advertised seniority is Unspecified. The 3+ years minimum and scope (prototyping, end-to-end delivery, cross-functional partnering) align with a Mid-level band, though the breadth of responsibilities could push toward Senior for some hiring managers.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is primarily software/automation engineering (building AI agents, pipelines, integrations, and production services), which maps to Software Developers (15-1252). A runner-up of 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is noted given the novel 'AI Embedded' framing that blends business analysis with engineering.
A Bachelor's degree is listed as a minimum requirement but the posting explicitly states 'equivalent practical experience may also be considered,' so the degree requirement is set to None.
SharePoint, Teams, Outlook, ERP platforms, Salesforce, and internal APIs are listed as integration targets in the responsibilities section rather than a formal requirements block. They are included as required skills because the JD uses firm language ('Develop and maintain integrations with enterprise systems such as…') describing core job duties.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is named explicitly as an agent integration pattern alongside 'or similar'; it is captured as the primary skill with no well-established single named alternative in this emerging space.
ChatGPT Enterprise and vector search appear in the requirements section but with softer framing ('comparable enterprise platforms' and as one component among many), so they are marked preferred.
Microsoft 365 (Outlook/Teams/SharePoint ecosystem) is listed as a preferred skill to capture the broader platform context beyond the individually named apps.
