Our reading of the role, not the employer’s title. Junior: guided work; Mid: independent delivery; Senior: leads an ambiguous project through production; Staff+: leads across teams or projects.
Background
The experience the posting asks you to arrive with, in the employer’s own words, not our reading of the job. A posting that states no experience requirement is in none of these, and neither is one asking for experience outside the five.
Experience
Postings that ask for that many years or fewer, plus postings that state no requirement. The kind of experience still matters.

Travel
Postings that do not mention travel are treated as no travel, so they are left out of 25% or more.
