Why we read it this way (6)
The title 'Senior Site Reliability Engineer II' implies a leveled IC role; the posting explicitly pairs this engineer with a Staff-level architect for strategic decisions, confirming this is a Senior IC, not Staff.
EKS and ECS are listed as interchangeable options ('EKS or ECS') in the requirements; EKS is captured as primary with ECS as an alternative.
RDS and Aurora are both named as the deployment context for the required database experience and are captured as separate skills since they are distinct AWS services used together.
Crossplane and Datadog appear under the 'Preferred' heading and are marked accordingly.
The role is fully remote (#LI-Remote); no specific metro is listed, so CBSA fields are left blank.
AI tool fluency is called out as a required attribute but names no specific product, so it is omitted from the skills list per the no-generic-concepts rule.
