Why we read it this way (5)

The title says 'Sr. Full Stack Developer' but the actual requirements gate only on 2–6 years of experience and the day-to-day work described is predominantly backend (Java, AWS, microservices). The seniority band is assessed as Mid based on the stated experience range, despite the Senior title.

The posting lists specific AWS services (EC2, S3, Lambda, API Gateway, RDS) as examples ('such as'), introduced under the required skills section but framed as illustrative exposure rather than hard gates on each individual service — marked as preferred accordingly.

Microservices architecture is mentioned as a knowledge area alongside REST APIs but names no specific framework or tool beyond Java; it is captured through the Java and REST skills rather than as a standalone generic concept.

No backend framework is named specifically (e.g. Spring); 'backend development frameworks' is too generic to emit as a named skill.

Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
