Why we read it this way (8)
No overall years-of-experience figure is stated; seniority is inferred from the 'senior engineer' title and the scope of requirements (end-to-end production ownership, schema evolution under live load, multi-tenancy).
FastAPI is listed in the required section with the qualifier 'or close equivalent'; Flask and Django REST Framework are noted as common substitutes.
The 'What Sets You Apart' section is explicitly framed as differentiators rather than gates — entity resolution, search infrastructure, KYC/KYB pipeline experience, address normalization, webhook delivery, and GCP services are all treated as preferred.
Search infrastructure is listed as preferred but no specific tool is named (full-text, fuzzy, or vector); Elasticsearch/OpenSearch are the most common substitutes in this context.
'Webhook delivery infrastructure' is a concept rather than a named tool, but it appears only under the preferred 'What Sets You Apart' section and describes a meaningful, concrete capability — retained as preferred.
Equity is mentioned alongside the salary range but no specific equity figure or percentage is given.
Role is hybrid 4 days/week in-office in San Francisco; not eligible for remote work.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): webhook delivery.
