Why we read it this way (5)
The posting explicitly states candidates do not need deep experience in every part of the stack on day one, and that strong engineering fundamentals and learning ability are weighted more heavily than specific technology familiarity. Accordingly, .NET and C# are treated as the primary required technologies (the core stack), while Entity Framework Core, React, and Spring Boot are marked preferred — the JD frames them as context rather than hard gates.
Java/Spring Boot experience is presented as a transferable alternative path into the .NET environment, not a separate requirement; it is captured in the alternatives for .NET/C# rather than as a standalone required skill.
No minimum years of overall experience are stated explicitly; the role is framed by scope and judgment rather than a year count.
Geospatial/spatial data experience and working with systems that interact with physical processes are called out as 'particularly relevant, not required' — no concrete named tool is specified, so no skill entry is emitted for these.
The posting mentions AI-assisted development as an expected practice but names no specific tool, so no skill entry is emitted.
