Why we read it this way (7)
The role is fully remote but requires regular travel to Menlo Park, CA headquarters; the CBSA is mapped to San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara (which includes Menlo Park) as the closest relevant metro.
Python and Java are listed together as 'Java and/or Python' in the qualifications — they are interchangeable options for the same requirement, so each is captured as an alternative of the other.
Spring Boot appears in the responsibilities section as part of the stack description ('Python, Java Spring Boot, SQL') rather than in a standalone required-qualifications statement; treated as preferred context.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree … (Master's preferred)' — since a Master's is only preferred and equivalent experience is not explicitly excluded, the minimum hard-required degree is treated as a Bachelor's; however, because the JD does not explicitly reject candidates without a degree, the degree requirement is set to None per the schema rule that 'equivalent experience accepted' cases resolve to None. The posting does not include an explicit equivalency clause, so this is a judgment call — the Bachelor's is stated as a requirement.
Healthcare/biosensors experience is explicitly called 'a plus but not required' — listed as preferred accordingly.
HIPAA compliance is mentioned as a standard to meet in the responsibilities narrative, not as a hard gate in the qualifications section; treated as preferred context.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
