JavaScript and TypeScript are listed as interchangeable ('JavaScript or TypeScript') — JavaScript is primary with TypeScript as an alternative.
AWS is mentioned with 'such as' framing ('cloud platforms such as AWS'), indicating it is an example rather than a hard gate; marked as preferred. Relational and NoSQL databases and CI/CD pipelines appear in the same familiarity-framed sentence and are also marked preferred.
A Bachelor's degree is listed but explicitly allows 'equivalent practical experience,' so no minimum degree is hard-required.
