Why we read it this way (6)
The role lists two possible office locations: Shelton, CT (Bridgeport-Stamford-Norwalk CBSA) and Miami, FL. The CT location is listed first; the Miami, FL alternative (Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach CBSA, 33100) is equally valid.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree or higher… or equivalent practical experience,' so no formal degree is hard-gated.
The Technology Stack section is framed as 'strong familiarity with this stack is expected' and sits separately from the formal Required Qualifications block. Technologies from that section (e.g., Dynatrace, OpenAPI/Swagger) that are not repeated in the Required Qualifications block are treated as preferred/stack context rather than hard gates.
GitHub Copilot and Claude are listed as required AI-assisted development tools; the JD states candidates 'must be comfortable using AI daily,' making this a hard gate. Claude is captured as an alternative since either satisfies the requirement.
DoorDash Drive and Uber Eats integration experience appear only under Preferred Qualifications.
AWS Certified Developer certification appears only under Preferred Qualifications and is not captured as a skill since it is a credential, not a technology.
