No work location or city is specified in the posting; CBSA and state fields are left blank. The compensation range suggests a US-based role.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree... or suitable combination of education, experience, and training', which is treated as equivalent experience being accepted — so no hard degree gate is set.
SQS, SES, and IAM are listed as examples of AWS services the candidate should know; they are captured as individual skills since they are named explicitly under the required qualifications.
Source control is listed as required but no specific tool is named; Git is used as the canonical primary with common alternatives noted.
Front-end web development and secure software development practices appear under the 'Preferable' section and are marked accordingly.
