Why we read it this way (8)
The posting states a Bachelor's in CS/CE or 'equivalent work experience' — no hard degree gate; the degree requirement is set to None accordingly.
The JD lists React, Ember, Vue, and Angular as interchangeable examples of 'modern JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks'; React is used as the primary name with the others as alternatives. JavaScript and TypeScript are emitted as a paired must-have (either satisfies the requirement) because the JD says 'JavaScript/TypeScript'.
C# and .NET Core are explicitly called out as 'a plus' in the requirements section — treated as preferred despite appearing near required skills.
Kafka, Docker, and Kubernetes appear only under the 'We would love if you have some of the below (but it is fine if you don't)' section — preferred only.
Database fundamentals (schema design, query optimization, indexing) are required but name no specific database product; no named-tool skill is emitted per extraction rules. SQL Server appears only in the 'Our tech stack' narrative, not in the requirements block.
The caller has declared this fully remote; the posting itself states 4 days/week in-office, which conflicts. Remote is set to true per caller instruction.
'Software Engineer II' maps to Mid seniority both by title convention and by the 2+ years experience requirement.
Caller marked this a fully-remote role — scored against the national candidate pool.
