Why we read it this way (7)
The Bachelor's degree is explicitly stated as 'preferred' and Comcast notes it will consider equivalent experience — treated as not a hard degree requirement.
Go is the primary required language going forward; Java is required for maintaining the existing Spring Boot platform during transition. Both are listed under Required Qualifications.
The individual AWS services (Lambda, EC2, DynamoDB, SNS, SQS) are explicitly named in Required Qualifications and are marked as hard gates.
Spring Boot and Micronaut appear together under Preferred Qualifications as interchangeable options — captured as one preferred skill with Micronaut as an alternative.
AI-assisted development tools are mentioned as part of day-to-day engineering in the responsibilities section and as a preferred qualification; no specific tool is named, so no skill entry is emitted.
AWS certification is explicitly called 'a plus' in Preferred Qualifications — not a hard gate and not a named technology skill, so omitted from the skills list.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
