Why we read it this way (6)
The role is fully remote but requires candidates to be located in a US time zone (PT–ET); no specific metro applies.
The language requirement lists Go, Python, C++, and TypeScript as a group with 'such as' framing — Go is captured as the primary with the others as alternatives, reflecting that the JD treats them as interchangeable options for the same requirement.
EVM/blockchain familiarity is explicitly called 'a plus, but not required' in the Requirements section — treated as preferred despite its placement near required items.
The Graph, Alchemy, and Moralis appear together as interchangeable blockchain/Web3 data providers under the Nice to haves section.
Compensation is described qualitatively (salary, token rights, equity) with no figures given; no comp range is extractable.
Web3/DeFi interest is listed as a requirement but names no specific technology, so it is not emitted as a skill.
