The role requires on-site presence 5 days per week in Pittsburgh, PA or Dallas, TX; remote work is not available. Dallas, TX is listed as an alternative work location but Pittsburgh is the primary posting location (Ref: #404-IT Pittsburgh).
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Employer immigration sponsorship (PERM/visa) is explicitly unavailable for this engagement.
Node.js and Angular are listed under the required qualifications section as 'client-side technologies' the candidate should have knowledge of, so they are treated as hard gates despite being secondary to the core Java/API focus.
uDeploy appears only in the duties/responsibilities narrative ('Your future duties and responsibilities'), not in the formal required qualifications section, so it is treated as preferred context rather than a hard gate.
The 4+ years experience requirement covers Java/J2EE with REST API, Spring Boot, XML, JSON, and Swagger collectively — the overall years minimum is set to 4 accordingly.
