>Age is never really a factor for us when hiring. What does come into consideration is whether your resume is filled with "architect" and "CTO" and "tech lead" but you're applying for a mid-level role or if you apply for a more senior role and you can't solve simple technical questions.

You are saying that age isn't a factor while also saying that a person can be too experienced for a role. Age and experience are highly correlated. So while you aren't specifically saying it, you are certainly implying that someone can be too old for a specific role.

They can't be too old for a specific role. They can be overqualified for a role.
