Why we read it this way (8)
The role is in-office at the Kansas City Crossroads Arts District location; occasional work-from-home is described as situational flexibility, not a remote arrangement.
The 4+ years requirement is scoped specifically to 'building production SaaS' — it is a role-level gate, not tied to any single named technology.
FastAPI is the named Python framework in the requirements section; Flask and Django appear as explicit alternatives ('FastAPI, Flask, Django, or similar'), so they are captured as alternatives rather than separate required skills.
Supabase is named in the requirements section as part of the described stack ('Supabase/Deno'), making it a hard gate; Deno Edge Functions experience is separately called out under Nice to Have and is marked preferred.
LLM integration is a hard gate (must have shipped a real product feature using an AI model); Claude/Anthropic direct experience is listed under Nice to Have and is marked preferred.
Third-party API integration experience is required but names no specific platform or tool — it is captured as a REST/API integration gate rather than a named technology skill.
E-commerce/marketplace and construction-tech experience appear only under Nice to Have and are domain-knowledge items rather than named technologies — omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
The posting is listed as 'Direct Hire / Perm, W2 Exempt', confirming full-time permanent employment.
