Why we read it this way (6)
Go appears in the Requirements section alongside Node.js/NestJS/TypeScript ('Node.js, NestJS, TypeScript, Go in production'), making it a hard gate despite being listed again under Nice to Have.
GraphQL is listed in the Requirements section as an alternative API style to REST ('REST/GraphQL'), so it is captured as an alternative to REST rather than a standalone required skill. It also appears independently under Nice to Have.
React is mentioned in the 'What You'll Do' narrative ('building backend services and React frontends') and again under Nice to Have — it is not listed as a hard gate in the Requirements section.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree… or equivalent practical experience', so no minimum degree is hard-gated.
A Master's degree is listed under Nice to Have and is therefore preferred, not required.
This is a hybrid role requiring presence in NYC; it is not fully remote.
