Why we read it this way (9)
The role requires hands-on experience on iOS (Swift) OR Android (Kotlin) — at least one platform is a hard gate; experience across both is listed under 'Nice to have'.
Backend language requirement (Node, Python, Go, or Kotlin) is framed with 'or a strong foundation and the drive to grow into it,' suggesting some flexibility, but building APIs and server-side services is still presented as a core requirement.
'Active, effective use of AI tooling (Claude Code, Copilot, etc.)' is explicitly listed in the requirements block and treated as a hard gate.
Cloud infrastructure and CI/CD are listed in the requirements block as 'familiarity with' — included as required per section placement, though the bar is familiarity rather than deep expertise.
MCP server/tool building is listed in the requirements block but framed as 'Interest in…' — treated as preferred given the aspirational framing despite its placement.
All attribution/ad-platform SDK and API skills (AppsFlyer, SKAdNetwork, Meta CAPI, etc.) are explicitly under the 'Nice to have' section.
