Why we read it this way (6)
The posting accepts a Bachelor's degree OR equivalent professional experience, so no formal degree is hard-required.
The $175,000–$180,000 base salary is accompanied by a stated 15% target bonus, which is not reflected in the comp range above.
AWS is the stated cloud platform in 'The Tech' stack section; Azure and GCP appear only in the 'What Will Make You Stand Out' preferred block as alternatives, so AWS is treated as the primary required cloud platform.
Azure DevOps (for pipelines, project management, and Git hosting) and Git appear in the 'The Tech' stack narrative rather than in a gated requirements section.
JavaScript, HTML, and CSS appear in the 'The Tech' stack section as components of the Angular frontend stack, not in the formal requirements block.
EdTech industry experience and payments/e-commerce experience are listed under 'What Will Make You Stand Out' — the posting's preferred/differentiator section — and are not hard gates.
