Why we read it this way (7)
The job title is 'Technical Staff, Custody (Backend Engineer)' — 'Technical Staff' here reads as a seniority label (Staff-level IC), hence the level advertised in the title is Staff. However, the actual requirements describe a strong senior engineer with no explicit org-wide or multi-team technical authority, so the supported level is Senior.
Go is listed in the requirements section with the qualifier 'or the ability to quickly learn new technologies'; it is treated as a hard gate on backend language capability, with Go as the named primary. No specific alternative language is named, so alternatives are left empty.
Concurrency, algorithms, and data structures are listed as required computer science fundamentals; they are captured as required skills because they are explicitly named in the Requirements section, even though they are concepts rather than tools.
Location is stated only as 'United States' with no specific city or metro; CBSA fields are left blank. The 'flexible work environment' language suggests remote eligibility, so remote is set to true.
GraphQL and gRPC APIs appear under Preferred Qualifications.
Applied cryptography/security-focused engineering and blockchain/digital assets experience appear under Preferred Qualifications.
No compensation figures are provided beyond 'competitive compensation package based on experience and qualifications.'
