Why we read it this way (7)
The role is internally leveled as IC2, which at most companies corresponds to a mid-level individual contributor. Combined with the 2+ year minimum experience requirement and independent-delivery scope, this maps to Mid seniority despite the title carrying no explicit level word (hence Unspecified for advertised seniority).
Go is listed as the primary language but the JD explicitly states 'Go experience is not a requirement' — candidates must be open to learning it. Java, Python, and C# are listed as acceptable alternatives; all are captured under Go's alternatives since the requirement is for backend services experience in any of these languages.
Terraform is listed with 'such as' framing ('IaC tooling such as Terraform'), making it a hard gate on IaC capability with Terraform as the named example; it is marked required accordingly.
Experience designing and building public APIs and developer platforms appears only under the 'Nice to Have' section.
'Familiarity with modern web infrastructure components (e.g. caching, serverless, API gateways)' is a stated requirement but names no single canonical tool — omitted from the skills list as it names no specific technology.
The role is hybrid in NYC; remote=false.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): public API design.
