Why we read it this way (4)
Location is not specified in the posting. Quantum Machines is an Israeli company (headquartered in Tel Aviv), so this role is likely based outside the US; the US-based flag has been set to false, but the posting does not explicitly state a work location.
The degree requirement is listed as M.Sc. in a relevant field, but the posting explicitly states that equivalent industry experience will also be considered, so no minimum degree has been flagged as a hard gate.
The 5-year Python experience figure is stated as a hard requirement ('Must') and drives both the skill's years demanded and the overall experience floor.
Quantum computing / quantum control domain knowledge is clearly expected given the role's responsibilities, but the posting names no specific quantum software framework (e.g., Qiskit, QUA) as a hard gate, so no additional technology skill has been added beyond what is explicitly named.
