Why we read it this way (8)
The role is titled 'Lead Security Engineer' — 'Lead' here reads as a seniority descriptor (senior technical authority, sets direction, influences peers) rather than a formal people-management title, so it is mapped to Senior rather than Staff. The JD does mention potential future team growth but frames this as an IC-led function today.
Two primary locations are listed (San Francisco, CA and Norwalk, CT) plus remote-US; the SF CBSA is used as the primary metro since it is listed first, but the Norwalk, CT (New York-Newark CBSA) location is equally valid.
Terraform and GitLab are listed together in the requirements section with 'or equivalents', so each is marked as a hard gate with common substitutes captured in alternatives.
Scripting/coding ability is required but no specific language is named; emitted as 'scripting' to capture the concrete requirement without inventing a tool.
Crypto/web3 security items (HSMs, threshold signing, wallet security, validator/staking infrastructure, smart-contract security, Ethereum, multi-chain) all appear under the explicit 'Bonus Points' section and are marked preferred.
Microsoft Intune/Defender and FreeIPA appear under 'Bonus Points' as endpoint and identity tooling examples; emitted as a single preferred skill with alternatives.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): secrets management.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
