Why we read it this way (6)
React and Angular are listed as interchangeable ('React.js and/or Angular') in the requirements section; React is captured as the primary with Angular as an alternative.
Kibana is listed in the required section as an example of 'application monitoring/observability tools such as Kibana' — the qualifier 'such as' means the specific tool is interchangeable, but monitoring/observability capability is a hard gate; Kibana is captured as the named representative.
A Bachelor's or Master's degree appears only under the 'These will help you stand out' (preferred) section, so no minimum degree is hard-required.
Python, CI/CD, and DevOps appear exclusively under the 'These will help you stand out' preferred section.
The role is remote-US only; the posting explicitly states no visa transfer or sponsorship is available.
The $68,000–$112,000 salary range is notably low for a 10+ year Senior Full Stack Technical Lead role; this may reflect a staffing/consulting firm pay structure (Cognizant) where client billing rates differ from direct employee compensation.
