Why we read it this way (6)
The minimum qualifications offer two paths: (Option 1) a Bachelor's degree in a relevant field plus 3 years of software engineering experience, or (Option 2) 5 years of experience with no degree. Because equivalent experience is explicitly accepted in lieu of a degree, the degree requirement is set to None.
Total experience minimum is set to 3 years (the lower of the two qualifying paths).
The role is titled 'Senior Software Engineer' but the actual requirements — 3–5 years of experience, no org-wide scope, no cross-team technical authority — support a Mid-level classification. The advertised seniority reflects the title; the assessed seniority reflects the requirements.
Programming language requirement lists JavaScript, Python, Java, Rust, Dart, and C++ as a group of interchangeable options ('including … or'); JavaScript is used as the primary name with the others captured as alternatives.
AI/ML integration is listed under the 'What you'll bring' requirements section with firm language ('Knowledge of AI/ML integration'), making it a hard gate. Generative AI tools appear in the same section but are framed more as an enhancement capability and also appear in the narrative 'What you'll do' section; treated as preferred.
WCAG 2.2 AA / accessibility knowledge appears only under the 'Preferred Qualifications' section and is explicitly optional.
