The Basic Qualifications are unusually sparse: 3+ years of software development experience, 2+ years of design/architecture experience, and proficiency in at least one programming language — no specific language or technology is named as a hard gate.
The Preferred Qualifications list full SDLC experience and a Bachelor's degree in computer science, but both are explicitly preferred and the degree section notes 'or equivalent,' so neither is treated as a hard requirement.

Because no specific named technologies are required, the skills list reflects only the structural requirements stated in the posting; the preferred-section items (SDLC practices, source control, testing) are captured as preferred.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): software development, system design.
