The JD states '6+ years of hands-on experience developing and shipping production-grade software applications' as the primary experience gate; the '4+ years' figure applies only when paired with a BA/BS degree, so 6 is used as the overall years minimum.
A BA/BS in Computer Science or related field is listed but explicitly paired with 'or 4+ years of equivalent software development experience', so no hard degree requirement is set.
Java, JavaScript, and TypeScript are presented as interchangeable options ('one or more modern programming languages such as Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, or similar') in the requirements section; Java is used as the primary name with the others as alternatives.
Node.js is listed as the named server-side technology ('Node.js or similar'); it is in the requirements section and treated as a hard gate on back-end capability.
REST and GraphQL are listed together ('RESTful APIs and/or GraphQL') in the requirements section; REST is the primary with GraphQL as an alternative.
AWS is listed as 'preferably AWS' (a preference qualifier) within the requirements section; treated as a hard gate on cloud experience with AWS as the preferred platform and Azure/GCP as alternatives.
Feature flags and A/B testing are explicitly called out as 'a plus' in the JD, so they are marked as preferred.
