Application (submitted 2026-10-22, Workday): - NVIDIA JR2027105, Switzerland Remote. Evidence Fit 65, Stretch (SLIs and error budgets not evidenced), hard gate PASS, channel Weak, no cover letter. - Package in output/NVIDIA_ProdEng_DGX_Cloud/: session, resume .tex, critique (Document Quality 85 before Edit 1; Tier 1 + all Tier 2 applied), verbatim JD. - Prior NVIDIA req JR2024256 was pulled (last listed 2026-09-18; page gone 2026-10-22): noted on that application, so there was no stacking conflict. KB (claims.json, user-confirmed 2026-10-22): - SW-11: current rotating engineer-on-duty role, Opsgenie alerting, alerts and bugs auto-create Jira tickets; he writes alert thresholds (e.g. data quality). - BS-1: the Bosch inference ran on NVIDIA GPUs; CUDA registered forbidden as a skill (system context only, little configuration done). - BS-4: the PoC included Grafana, Prometheus and Loki; ELK Stack, Grafana, Prometheus and Loki registered as PoC-context skills. - networking: certification context only (AWS SA Associate); work uses automated landing zones. - Extraction and CLAUDE.md log row added. Scout state: - decisions: RUAG Senior DevOps (Kubernetes) C5I parked (home-office terms); SLB Data Scientist skipped (user); NVIDIA JR2008695 skipped (C++/Rust 8y); JR2027105 applied; Norway/Apple/Swiss JD-read triage decisions. - employer_reputation: SLB (Glassdoor 3.9), MazeMap and SpareBank 1 Nord-Norge (unchecked).

Current targeting notes
- SBB Niveau K/L is SBB-specific. The reported approximate CHF 145k K ceiling is not a salary anchor for other employers.
- Assess headroom and total package: working time, holidays, office days, commute and verified benefits. Never decline a Thun-area role on salary band alone.
- Childcare-cost coverage at the Swiss Army/Kdo Cy remains unverified; confirm before pricing it.
- Norway remains open selectively; the Swiss compensation threshold does not automatically apply there.
- An interview does not prove how an ATS or recruiter evaluated the application. No causal inference from a single conversion.
- User clarification 2026-10-06: current baseline is 3 homeoffice days/week. Fewer days are acceptable only for a clear overall improvement over the current role; assess total package and commute early, with no automatic rejection based on office days alone. User expects such improvements mainly at FAANG or comparable employers, without restricting the search to them.
