Why we read it this way (6)
The role is remote-first but includes mandatory quarterly in-person 'surge' sessions; it is not fully remote in the traditional sense, though day-to-day work is remote.
Go is listed as the preferred backend language; other backend languages are accepted per the JD ('proficiency in at least one backend language (Go preferred)'), but Go is the clear expectation.
Blockchain/smart contract experience (Solidity/EVM, onchain integrations, or onchain-transacting services) is a hard gate listed under Required Skills — the JD offers three interchangeable paths, so Solidity and EVM are marked required but represent one of those paths.
Ethereum, Base, and Solana appear as the specific chains the team operates on; they are mentioned in the team description narrative rather than a requirements gate, so they are marked preferred.
Compensation range ($186,065–$218,900/yr) is base salary only and explicitly excludes equity and bonus; total compensation will be higher.
No degree requirement is stated anywhere in the posting.
