Why we read it this way (3)
Python and Java are listed together as the primary language requirement with 'ideally using Python or Java/Spring' — they are treated as interchangeable options for the same gate, with Spring noted separately as a preferred qualifier on the Java path.
Spring appears only as a modifier ('Java/Spring') in the qualifications narrative rather than as a standalone required skill, so it is marked preferred.
The role is headquartered in Burlingame, CA (San Francisco metro), but is explicitly open to fully remote candidates within the United States.
