Why we read it this way (7)
OAuth 2.0 and OIDC are listed together as a single required capability; emitted as two separate skills with each as the other's alternative, since both are named explicitly and serve distinct but related functions.
RBAC and ABAC are listed together in the required section ('RBAC, ABAC, and policy-based authorization'); emitted as one skill with the other as an alternative, reflecting that the JD treats them as interchangeable authorization models.
'Distributed systems' and 'observability' are retained as skills because the JD gates on them with firm language in the Required section and they represent concrete, assessable engineering competencies — not generic soft skills.
AWS Cognito, Python, FastAPI, Pydantic, PostgreSQL, and Go all appear under the Preferred section ('Experience with technologies in our ecosystem') and are not hard gates.
HIPAA and SOC 2 appear under Preferred ('Knowledge of healthcare security and compliance standards') and are not hard gates.
