Why we read it this way (10)
The role is hybrid (not fully remote), with primary offices in Woonsocket, RI and Scottsdale, AZ. The CBSA reflects the RI location; the Scottsdale, AZ location (Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler, AZ CBSA 38060) is an equally valid base.
The observability tools (Splunk, Dynatrace, Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana) are listed together in the Required Qualifications as an 'such as … etc.' group — they are hard-gated as a capability but any one of them satisfies the requirement. They are emitted as separate skills with each other as alternatives to reflect this interchangeability.
Java and Python are listed together ('Java/Python') in Required Qualifications with a 2-year gate; they are emitted as separate skills with each other as alternatives since the JD uses a slash implying either/or.
AIOps is listed alongside AI in the same 2-year requirement ('AI/AIOps'); emitted as a single skill since 'AI' alone is too generic to be a named tool.
Cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) are required together under a 2-year gate; emitted as separate skills with each other as alternatives since the JD frames them as a group where any cloud experience satisfies the requirement.
Source control/CI tools (GitHub, BitBucket, Jenkins) are listed as alternatives in Required Qualifications; emitted as separate skills with each other as alternatives.
Apigee, Vordel, and DataPower appear only under Preferred Qualifications.
OpenShift appears in the responsibilities narrative ('microservices & deployments' section) rather than in a hard-requirements block.
The degree requirement accepts a HS diploma plus 4 years of relevant experience as an explicit equivalent to a Bachelor's degree, so the degree requirement is set to None.
The wide pay range ($92,700–$203,940) reflects a broad job grade band at CVS Health and likely spans multiple levels within the grade.
