Next.js, TypeScript, React, API/backend, and database experience are treated as hard gates based on firm gating language ('Strong Next.js and TypeScript skills', 'Backend experience'). All stack technologies listed under 'Our Stack' are marked preferred, as that section describes the team's existing tools rather than gating criteria.

No minimum years of experience are stated anywhere in the posting.

The role is described as San Francisco-based with no remote option mentioned; marked as on-site.

The salary range of $140k–$170k is stated without specifying a period; interpreted as annual based on the magnitude of the figures — however, the posting itself does not explicitly say 'per year'.
