That certainly sounds like a more senior role.

My take on bootcamp grads (I am one), is that the purpose is to make them a competitive or superior option to a fresh CS grad. How does that expectation compare to your experience?

Yeah "hit the ground running" was decidedly not the standard for bootcamp grads. This was our more senior unicorn hire. Like any shop though we did have simpler more isolated work that was still needing doing, so we pared those off for grads.
