Why we read it this way (7)
The title is simply 'Software Engineer' with no level modifier — advertised seniority is Unspecified; however, the 5+ years requirement and mentoring/design-leadership responsibilities support a Senior classification.
Java and Kotlin are listed as interchangeable options ('Java or Kotlin') in the required qualifications; Java is emitted as the primary with Kotlin as an alternative.
Unit and integration tests are listed together as a single required skill; captured as 'Unit testing' covering both.
Front-end JavaScript frameworks (Vue, Angular, React) are framed as 'some experience and/or the drive to learn' — treated as preferred with Vue as primary and Angular/React as alternatives.
Spring Boot, Kubernetes, GCP, and Domain-Driven Design all appear under the explicit 'Desired (but not required) Skills & Experiences' heading and are marked preferred accordingly.
Domain-Driven Design (DDD) is a methodology/concept rather than a concrete named technology and is omitted per extraction rules.
The role is fully remote per the '#LI-Remote' tag and DrFirst's stated Remote-First policy; no specific metro or state is identified.
