Cursor is the only hard-gated technology — the posting explicitly states 'Must have Cursor experience' in otherwise preference-leaning language.
Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and ChatGPT are listed together as 'a strong plus' (preferred), so they are grouped as alternatives under one preferred skill entry.
Full-stack familiarity (frontend, backend, APIs, databases, cloud) is explicitly called 'a plus' — all captured as preferred.
The posting is a 90-day paid internship with a stated intent to convert to full-time; employment type is classified as Internship accordingly.
No formal degree is hard-required — the posting only requires the candidate to have graduated or be on track to graduate by December 2026, which is a graduation-status gate, not a specific degree level.
