Why we read it this way (7)

The Bachelor's degree requirement is soft — the JD explicitly accepts 'equivalent experience', so the degree requirement is set to None.

Node.js is listed in the required section as 'Node.js or similar' alongside REST APIs; it is treated as a hard gate on the capability, with Node.js as the named tool. REST APIs is kept as a separate required skill since both the protocol and the runtime are called out distinctly.

Git and GitHub are listed together as a single version-control requirement ('such as Git and GitHub'); GitHub is captured as an alternative rather than a separate skill.

Cloud platforms (AWS, Vercel), React Native, Generative AI/LLMs, Python, PostgreSQL, Firebase, CI/CD pipelines, and Atlassian tools all appear under the explicit 'Preferred Qualifications' heading.

Machine learning concepts and relational/NoSQL database design appear under Preferred Qualifications but name no specific tool, so they are omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.

The title 'Software Engineer' carries no level modifier, so the title states no level. The 3+ years requirement and scope of responsibilities support a Mid-level classification.
