Why we read it this way (7)
The role is listed for both Los Angeles and San Francisco (CA) as well as London. The primary CBSA is set to Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA as the first-listed US location; San Francisco is an equally valid base. London is a non-US location but the role is US-based overall (ITAR requirement effectively gates on US persons).
C, C++, and Python are listed together as a proficiency requirement ('Proficiency in C, C++, or Python') — these are treated as interchangeable gates on the same language requirement, so each is marked required with the others as alternatives.
Rust is explicitly called 'a strong plus,' placing it in the Bonus Points / preferred tier despite appearing near the required language list.
DAQ systems, PLCs, control systems, NI software suite, TwinCAT, and CodeSys all appear under the 'Bonus Points' heading and are preferred, not required.
The ITAR citizenship/residency requirement (US citizen, LPR, refugee, or asylee) is a hard gate but is not a security clearance — the clearance requirement is set to None accordingly.
No compensation figures are stated; salary is described only as 'competitive' with equity mentioned.
The alt SOC (15-1211 Computer Systems Analysts) reflects the strong customer-facing integration and field-deployment dimension of the role, though the primary day-to-day work is writing production code and building systems.
