Senior level · 10+ years · Remote · Full-time
Advertised as Principal, but the requirements read as Senior.
“or” means any one of them counts — you don't need all of them.
We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (7)
The title reads 'Sr. Principal' but the actual requirements — 10+ years overall, 5+ years in AI/automation, hands-on enterprise development — are well within the Senior band; the role does not describe org-wide technical authority or cross-org direction-setting that would justify Staff or Principal on the requirements side.
A Bachelor's degree is listed in the qualifications block, but a Master's is stated as 'preferred' and the JD does not explicitly reject candidates without a degree, so the degree requirement is set to None.
The entire technology stack (Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, REST APIs, cloud platforms, AI frameworks, RAG, vector databases, etc.) is explicitly called out as 'not necessary, but a plus' — all such skills are marked as preferred.
AI/Conversational AI experience (5+ years) and Agentic AI platform experience are listed in the main qualifications block with firm language and are treated as hard gates.
Location is listed as 'Texas (Remote)' with no specific metro; no CBSA code is assigned. The role is fully remote.
Industry domain knowledge (Financial Services, Healthcare, etc.) and contributions to open-source/patents are explicitly flagged as 'a plus' and are omitted from the skills list as they name no specific technology.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
