Why we read it this way (7)
This role is based in Brazil (CLT contract, Tech Brasil team) — the US-based flag is set to false; US salary benchmarks do not apply.
React and Angular are listed as interchangeable alternatives ('React or Angular') under the 6+ years requirement; React is named first and is used as the primary skill name.
Java + Spring Boot is listed in Requirements but qualified with 'or a clear willingness to learn quickly', indicating the JD gates on the capability or demonstrated learning intent rather than deep existing expertise. Retained as required given its placement in the Requirements section.
Active use of AI tools (Claude Code, Copilot, or others) is explicitly listed under Requirements; 'AI coding tools' is used as the canonical skill name with Claude Code and GitHub Copilot as named alternatives.
Fintech/lending/payments/credit scoring/collections domain experience is listed under 'Plus' and treated as preferred.
Caller marked this a fully-remote role — scored against the national candidate pool.
This role's work location reads as outside the US — the candidate pool, comp, and contention benchmarks here are US-only (BLS employment, Adzuna/USAJOBS demand, and certified H-1B wages), so treat them as a rough US reference, not a local market.
