Why we read it this way (4)
The role requires deep expertise in ONE of three platforms (iOS, Android, or Electron/Angular) — the skills list captures all three platform stacks, but a candidate only needs to satisfy one branch. Platform-specific skills (Swift/Kotlin/TypeScript, SwiftUI/Jetpack Compose/Angular, Core Graphics+Metal/Canvas+Skia+Vulkan/Canvas+WebGL+CanvasKit, Swift Concurrency/Kotlin Coroutines+Flow/RxJS, Xcode Instruments/Android Profiler, Keychain/Android Keystore) are marked required because they are hard-gated in the Qualifications section, but only the set matching the candidate's chosen platform applies.
The AI tooling requirement (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or similar) demands at least one year of hands-on use — this is an explicit minimum stated in the Qualifications section.
The title 'Lead Agentic Software Engineer' carries no standard seniority level word; advertised seniority is set to Unspecified. The 8+ years requirement and end-to-end ownership scope support a Senior classification.
Degree requirement: the posting lists 'Bachelor's or Master's degree' as a qualification without an 'or equivalent experience' escape — treated as a hard Bachelors minimum.
