Why we read it this way (8)
The role is US-remote but priority consideration is given to candidates in the Bay Area, New York City, and Knoxville, TN; those locations follow a hybrid model (3 days/week in office). Candidates must have permanent residency in one of the listed states.
The JD lists 'GHA/Jenkins CI/CD pipelines' as a single requirement — GitHub Actions and Jenkins are treated as interchangeable alternatives for the CI/CD tooling gate.
Observability tooling (Datadog, CloudWatch, OpenTelemetry) is listed in the Requirements section as examples; Datadog is used as the primary name with the others as alternatives.
AI-assisted development tools are called out as a hard requirement in the Requirements section but name no specific product, so no skill entry is emitted (no concrete tool to name).
Full-stack development with React frontend is listed under Preferred, as is WebSockets, Python, and Kafka/SQS — all marked as preferred accordingly.
Healthcare domain experience is listed under Preferred and is not a hard gate.
No minimum degree is stated; the posting does not require a specific credential.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
