Why we read it this way (7)

The role is titled 'Backend Developer' with no seniority modifier, but the 1–3 year experience window and scope of work (feature ownership within a team, not org-wide) place this firmly at the Junior-to-low-Mid level; seniority is set to Junior as the lower band per tiebreaker rules.

Java is the only explicitly named programming language and is hard-gated with 'at least 1 year building in Java' in the About You section.

Hands-on use of AI agents (Claude, Copilot, Cursor, or similar) is stated as a firm requirement ('You've actually used AI agents… to build, debug, and ship software — not just experimented with them'); specific tools are named as examples rather than exclusive requirements.

Familiarity with LLMs and AI agent frameworks appears in the same About You section but is phrased as 'Familiarity with…' — softer than the AI agents gate above, so treated as preferred.

Third-party API integration is mentioned as a soft requirement ('Comfortable integrating…') with no specific API named; no concrete tool skill was emitted for this.

The role requires presence in the NYC tri-state area with a hybrid schedule (minimum 3 in-office days/week), so remote is false.

No degree requirement is stated anywhere in the posting.
