Why we read it this way (6)
The title 'AI Builder' carries no standard seniority level, so advertised seniority is Unspecified. The 1–3 year experience requirement and 'moderate supervision' framing support a Mid-level classification.
The role is a genuine hybrid of software engineering, product management, and customer success. It is classified as Software Developers (15-1252) because the primary deliverable is architecting and coding agentic systems; 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is noted as a runner-up given the unusual blend.
The posting lists three possible office locations (Santa Barbara CA, Seattle WA, Kansas City KS/MO). Santa Barbara is listed first as HQ; the CBSA reflects that location. Candidates should note the role may also be based in Seattle or Kansas City.
Claude Code (the CLI-based AI coding tool) is explicitly named as the primary working environment and is treated as a hard gate. Other AI-native tooling is implied but not named.
The security/background-check language ('eligibility for a government background check', 'federal data protection standards') does not explicitly require a named US security clearance level, so the clearance requirement is set to None.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
