Why we read it this way (7)
The JD requires a B.S. in Computer Science or Engineering with no 'or equivalent experience' escape clause, so the degree requirement is set to Bachelors.
GitLab is cited only as a parenthetical example ('e.g., GitLab') within the CI/CD requirement; the hard gate is on CI/CD experience broadly, so GitLab is listed as preferred with common alternatives.
The relational/NoSQL database requirement is stated as 'and/or', so both are captured under one skill with alternatives rather than as two separate hard gates.
REST and GraphQL are listed as 'and/or', so REST is the primary skill with GraphQL as an alternative.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Preferred qualifications (SaaS/enterprise-scale platforms, compliance/financial domain experience, cross-team technical leadership) name no specific technologies and are therefore not emitted as skills.
