Population
  Same engineer-family population as the skills and requirements index:
  563 live FDE engineer postings from 115 employers. Posting text pulled
  October 25, 2026 from the October 24, 2026 snapshot. Internships excluded.
  Deployment strategist and FDE management titles are not included.

Years of experience
  Years = first "N+ years ... experience" phrase in the posting text
  (lower bound of a range). It can occasionally be a sub-skill requirement
  rather than the headline one, so treat bands as approximate.

Early-career titles
  Title contains New Grad, Early Career, Junior, Associate, or level I /
  I-II (Principal ... I excluded).
