Why we read it this way (7)
The role requires 5+ years of overall software development experience and 3+ years specifically building iOS applications; the overall years minimum is set to 5 (the role-level gate), and the iOS-specific 3-year requirement is captured on the iOS skill.
A 4-year degree is listed but explicitly accepts 'equivalent experience,' so no formal degree is hard-required.
The Composable Architecture (TCA) is the team's primary architecture and is called out in both the team description and requirements; MVVM and VIPER are listed as acceptable alternatives in the same sentence.
Xcode and Instruments appear together in the requirements section under native iOS tools; Instruments is listed parenthetically alongside required tools but reads more as contextual depth than a standalone gate, so it is marked preferred.
AI-assisted coding and developer productivity tools are explicitly flagged as 'Desired experience' (a secondary, optional heading), so they are marked preferred.
The role is hybrid (onsite at Target HQ in Minneapolis, MN + remote), not fully remote.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): The Composable Architecture.
