62% of positions with classified seniority are mid-level. Senior accounts for 20.5%. Pure technical leadership (Staff 1,698 + Principal 94 + Architect 672 = 2,464) is only 4.3% of total. Entry (1,107) + Internship (492) = 2.8%. The entry funnel is structurally narrow while mid-level concentration raises questions about classification accuracy.

Mid may be catch-all classification. Adzuna (55% of base) may default to mid.
