The posting lists 'React/TS' and 'Python or other modern programming languages' together in the required qualifications section. React and TypeScript are treated as separate hard-gate skills; Python is marked required as the named language, with the 'or other modern programming languages' qualifier indicating flexibility in the specific language rather than making the requirement optional.
No explicit office location is stated in the posting. Discord is headquartered in San Francisco, CA, and the salary range is described as a 'US base salary range', so San Francisco CBSA is used as the best-fit location. The posting does not explicitly state remote eligibility.
Mobile stack experience (iOS/Swift/Obj-C and Android/Java/Kotlin) appears under the 'Bonus Points' section and is treated as preferred.
Games industry experience and developer platform/tooling experience also appear under 'Bonus Points' but name no specific technologies, so they are omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
