Why we read it this way (6)
The role title is 'Associate' with no seniority modifier; the 2+ years of React and overall engineering experience requirements support a Mid-level classification.
React Query, Redux, and MobX are listed together as interchangeable examples of JavaScript state management tools in the qualifications; React Query is used as the primary name with Redux and MobX as alternatives. Redux also appears separately in the Responsibilities section as a named technology in the stack, so it is additionally surfaced as a standalone preferred skill.
The posting specifies a hybrid schedule (Mon–Thu in-office, Friday remote), so remote=false is used as the role cannot be done fully remotely.
AI-assisted development tools appear in the qualifications but are framed with soft language ('comfortable with') and no specific tool is named; captured as preferred.
No degree requirement is stated anywhere in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): AI-assisted development tools.
