Container orchestration is listed alongside Docker in the Qualifications section ('Docker and container orchestration in production') — emitted as a separate skill because the JD treats them as distinct capabilities rather than interchangeable alternatives.
CI/CD is listed under Qualifications with firm language ('Familiarity with CI/CD systems…') — 'familiarity' is softer than 'strong proficiency', but the skill sits squarely in the required Qualifications block, so it is treated as a hard gate.
No specific degree is required; the JD does not mention educational credentials at all.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): container orchestration.
