Why we read it this way (7)
No work location or metro is specified in the posting; the CBSA field has been left blank. The role is listed as full-time but no remote/hybrid policy is stated, so remote has been set to false by default.
The statically typed language requirement lists C#, Java, C, and Go as interchangeable options; C# is used as the primary name with the others in alternatives. Similarly, the dynamically typed language requirement lists JavaScript, Python, and PHP — JavaScript is primary.
The relational database requirement lists SQL Server, MySQL, and PostgreSQL as interchangeable; SQL Server is primary with the others in alternatives.
The cloud technologies requirement lists AWS, GCP, and Azure as interchangeable; AWS is primary with the others in alternatives.
Unit and Integration Testing is listed as a required skill but names no specific framework, so it has been omitted from the skills list per extraction rules (no concrete named tool).
Payment gateway integration (Stripe, Elavon, etc.) and finance/banking process experience appear under the explicit 'Preferred Skills' heading and are marked accordingly.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
