Why we read it this way (11)
The role is hybrid (3 days/week in the Dallas, TX office), not fully remote.
C# and .NET are listed together as a single backend requirement ('C#/.NET'); emitted as two separate skills since they are distinct but co-required technologies in the .NET ecosystem.
Kafka is cited as an example of event-driven/distributed architecture ('e.g., Kafka') within the requirements section; treated as a hard gate on that capability, with Kafka as the named tool.
SQL Server and PostgreSQL are listed as interchangeable relational database options ('SQL Server, Postgres, or similar') in the requirements block; each is emitted as required with the other as an alternative.
Redis is explicitly called 'a plus' in the requirements section, so it is marked preferred.
CI/CD is mentioned alongside unit/integration testing and TDD in the requirements block ('values test-driven development and CI'); captured as a required capability.
Mobile development (Kotlin/Android or Swift/iOS) is framed as 'experience with — or genuine interest in learning —', making it preferred rather than a hard gate.
Claude Code (AI-assisted development tooling) is listed in the requirements section but framed as 'experience with — or genuine interest in learning —'; treated as preferred.
Observability tooling (OpenTelemetry, Grafana) and containerized environments (Docker/Kubernetes) appear under the 'Bonus points' section; marked preferred accordingly.
A Bachelor's and/or Master's degree in CS is listed under 'Bonus points', so the degree requirement is set to None.
No overall years-of-experience floor is stated in the posting.
