Why we read it this way (8)
The job posting specifies San Francisco, CA (onsite 5 days/week) or New York City as the work location, but the caller has declared this a fully-remote role; remote=true is set and no metro is recorded per that instruction.
The title is bare 'Software Engineer' with no level modifier; advertised seniority is Unspecified. The 3+ years requirement and scope (early-stage, full-stack IC) support a Mid-level classification.
React, TypeScript, and Go are listed together under Technical Requirements with 'strong … skills' language — all three are treated as hard gates. The JD uses 'and/or' phrasing, but all three appear throughout the responsibilities as the actual stack, so they are emitted as separate required skills rather than alternatives.
LLM integration is explicitly required under Technical Requirements ('Experience building AI-powered applications or integrating LLM workflows').
A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related technical field is stated as required. A Top-20 CS program is 'strongly preferred' — that preference is not captured as a skill since it is a degree-quality qualifier, not a named technology.
Startup experience is listed as 'strongly preferred' in the Experience Requirements section, not as a hard gate; it is omitted from the skills list as it names no concrete technology.
No specific cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure) is named; 'cloud infrastructure' is captured generically as required based on repeated firm language in both responsibilities and technical requirements.
