Why we read it this way (5)
The job posting does not specify a city, country, or region. PayJoy operates primarily in emerging markets (Latin America, Africa, Southeast Asia), and the benefits (indefinite-term contract, catered lunches, co-working perk) suggest a non-US location. The US-based flag has been set to false, but the exact work location is genuinely unclear.
The title is a bare 'Software Engineer' with no level modifier, so advertised seniority is Unspecified. However, the 8+ years requirement and expectations around mentorship, code ownership, and cross-team collaboration support a Senior classification.
Java appears in the Requirements section's technology list alongside PHP and JavaScript, but is not mentioned in the Responsibilities section. It is included as a hard gate because it sits explicitly in the Requirements block.
Vue and AngularJS are listed together as front-end framework options; both are captured as separate skills since the posting treats them as part of the stack rather than strict alternatives.
Adobe Experience Platform (AEP) and omnichannel activation experience are listed under 'Nice to Have' and are marked as preferred accordingly.
