Why we read it this way (6)
No compensation figures are stated in the posting — only that salaries are 'competitive' with 'significant equity'.
The role is fully remote-first; the company has operated that way since 2018. Benefits (medical, dental, vision, 401K, PTO) are explicitly for US-based full-time employees, confirming a US-remote scope.
API design and query optimization are called out as required competencies alongside React and SQL, but name no specific framework or database product — they are captured under REST and SQL respectively rather than as generic methodology entries.
Experience with configurator/rule-engine UX and building extensible production systems are framed as required but describe patterns rather than named technologies, so they are omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
3D/CAD and catalog/procurement/e-commerce/materials-pricing experience are explicitly listed under 'A major plus if you also bring' — treated as preferred.
The catalog/procurement/e-commerce domain experience is a domain familiarity note rather than a named technology, so it is omitted from the skills list.
