We counted how often Lambda's own 13 ads (those with a full description) state each requirement. This shows the filters the ads apply before anyone reads a resume. We have no data on why candidates are rejected after applying, and we do not guess.
Years of experience. 10 of 13 ads (77%) state a number of years. The median is 6 years; 100% ask for 5 or more and 20% for 10 or more.

First, cover the basics the ads ask for most (see the requirements above: machine learning (100%), kubernetes (77%), python (54%), linux (54%)). Then look at what separates higher-paid ads:
Among the 13 ads that publish a pay range, we compared the median pay of ads that name each item with ads that do not. This is a correlation in the ads, not a promise: an item can pay more because it comes with senior roles.
| Item named in the ad ⇅ | Ads naming it ⇅ | Ads not naming it ⇅ | Median pay midpoint with it ⇅ | Difference vs ads without it ⇅ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| python | 7 | 6 | $330,500 | -$15,000 |
| linux | 7 | 6 | $330,500 | -$15,000 |
We describe only what the ads state. We do not know how recruiters rank candidates.
