Why we read it this way (5)
The role is based in Woodridge, IL (Chicago metro area), with a hybrid expectation of 2 days/week in office — not fully remote. The salary range cited ($115K–$210K) is labeled 'for roles based in Palo Alto, CA,' which appears to be a copy-paste artifact; the actual work location is Woodridge, IL.
The minimum qualifications require proficiency in 'one or more of' Python, C++, or TypeScript — these are listed as interchangeable gates, so Python is captured as the primary with C++ and TypeScript as alternatives.
Under Preferred Qualifications, C and C++ are called out separately with 'strong proficiency,' and hardware/firmware experience is preferred but not a hard gate.
A B.S. in Computer Science is listed as a minimum qualification but explicitly allows 'equivalent work experience,' so no formal degree is hard-required.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): firmware development, point-of-sale systems.
