Why we read it this way (7)
The posting's 'Must Have' section lists graph database experience (Neo4j, Neptune, Stardog or similar) and AI-assisted development tools (Cursor, Claude, GitHub Copilot or similar) alongside React, Go, GraphQL, etc. However, the formal Qualifications section — which is the authoritative gate — does NOT include graph database experience; it appears only in the informal 'Must Have' bullet list at the top and is explicitly called out as 'Nice to Have' in the dedicated section below. The 'Nice to Have' section governs, so graph database experience is marked preferred.
AI-assisted development tools are listed in the top 'Must Have' block and referenced in the Qualifications section ('Leverage AI-assisted development tools responsibly'), so it is treated as a hard gate.
The rate is stated as 'Up to $85.5/hr on W2', meaning $85.50 is the ceiling; no floor is given. Both min and max are set to $85.50 to reflect the stated cap.
Work authorization restrictions (GC, USC, valid EADs except OPT/CPT/H1B) are noted but cannot be represented in structured fields.
The role is a 12-month W2 contract, classified accordingly as Contract.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): AI-assisted development.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
