Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (5)

The JD states 'bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field (or equivalent experience)', so no formal degree is hard-gated.

TypeScript and React are listed parenthetically as the team's specific implementation of the required 'JavaScript' proficiency — all three are captured as required since they appear under the Required section.

Python is explicitly marked 'preferred' in the JD even though it appears in the Required block; Go is listed as an alternative to Python in the same clause ('Proficiency with Python or Go is preferred').

ORMs are mentioned alongside SQL as a relational database requirement but name no specific ORM product, so no separate ORM skill is emitted.

The role is explicitly in-person in Somerville, MA (Boston area); remote is not available.
