The listing, marked up

Nothing in the wording of this listing tripped a check. The scores above still judge how complete and coherent it is.

ThousandEyes helps organizations detect and resolve problems that affect digital experiences across networks. The Account Management team builds services for customer identity, access, entitlements, and contracts.
We’re looking for a technical lead to guide architecture across secure, scalable microservices, high-throughput APIs, and customer-facing web apps. You’ll lead work such as application migrations, API and workflow modernization, and service decoupling; improve reliability and developer productivity; and mentor engineers across the team.
Hybrid schedule: two days in the office each week, in San Francisco or San Jose. At least one day every two weeks must be in San Jose for sprint planning.

How this was produced

Highlights are found by rule, not by a model: each one is a phrase matched at a known position, and every note is a template we wrote. The two scores come from a typed-decision model (Jev) that reads the listing against the official role definition and real listings for the same role, and returns probabilities rather than prose — it never writes any of the words on this page, and never chooses what to highlight.

Deterministic penalty applied to the HR score: 12 points (from 60 before penalties). Reviewed 1 Oct 2026.
