Why we read it this way (6)
The JD requires a Bachelor's or Master's degree in CS/Engineering, but also accepts equivalent experience implicitly through the framing of the typed-language requirement and broad qualifications — the degree requirement is set to None as the posting does not hard-gate on a specific degree level (both Bachelor's and Master's are listed as acceptable, and the role is experience-heavy).
The role is hybrid (in-person twice a week at the NYC office); remote=false reflects that it is not fully remote. Employees not near a hub may work remotely, but this specific role explicitly requires in-person attendance.
The typed-language requirement lists Scala, Go, Java, C#, and C++ as acceptable alternatives — one skill entry is used with alternatives to reflect this interchangeability.
Cloud technologies and microservices are listed under Minimum Qualifications as 'familiarity with' — the softer framing was noted, but section placement (Minimum Qualifications) makes them hard gates.
Blockchain and crypto wallet experience appear under Preferred Qualifications and are marked accordingly.
The salary range of $140,000–$200,000 applies specifically to New York, California, and Washington; other states may differ.
