Why we read it this way (9)
The role is listed as based in Budapest, Hungary OR Somerville, MA (USA). The compensation range ($100K–$140K USD) and benefits suggest the US location is the primary framing for this posting; the US-based flag is set to true accordingly, but the role may also be filled in Hungary.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree… or equivalent practical experience,' which means no formal degree is strictly required.
Shopify B2B, Shopify Apps, and Shopify Functions & Extensions are all called out explicitly in the requirements section as a unified Shopify back-end capability; they are consolidated under 'Shopify' and 'Shopify APIs' to avoid redundant skill entries.
Salesforce Lightning, Flow, Validation rules, and Automations are listed together in the requirements section alongside Apex; Flow is captured separately as 'Salesforce Flow' since it is a distinct tool, while Lightning and Automations are general platform concepts rather than discrete named tools.
BigQuery appears only as a parenthetical example ('i.e. BigQuery, etc.') within the data savviness requirement; it is marked preferred rather than a hard gate on that specific tool.
GitHub, Gearset, and Kubernetes appear together under 'software development and deployment tools' in the requirements section and are treated as hard gates.
AWS Lambda / GCP Cloud Functions appear under the 'Bonus Points' section and are marked preferred.
Shopify Verified Skills/Badges and Salesforce Developer certifications appear under 'Bonus Points' and are not captured as skills since they are credential designations rather than concrete technologies.
AI coding tools and familiarity with ERP/CRM/Marketing Automation systems appear under 'Bonus Points' and are omitted as they name no specific technology.
