Why we read it this way (9)
The posting explicitly states no prior Elixir or Phoenix experience is required — these are listed as things the candidate should be 'eager to learn', so they are marked preferred rather than required.
No specific programming language is hard-gated; the JD requires only that the candidate be 'comfortable writing code in at least one modern language', which is too generic to emit as a named skill.
Version control / Git is called out as part of 'good practices' in the requirements-style candidate description; Git is the canonical tool implied.
AI coding tools are mentioned as a strong interest/expectation but framed as a learning opportunity and interest area, not a hard gate — listed under the candidate profile as 'interest in using modern AI development tools well'.
The $100,000–$130,000 range is described as On-Target Earnings (OTE), inclusive of base salary and any applicable target bonus.

GitHub activity, a portfolio, or showable projects are called 'a big plus' — a nice-to-have signal, not a hard gate.
