Why we read it this way (4)
GraphQL and PCF (Pivotal Cloud Foundry / PaaS platform) are explicitly flagged as preferred/nice-to-have in the posting.
The posting lists a broad set of development tools (STS/IntelliJ, SoapUI, Postman, Bitbucket, Git, jMeter) under the responsibilities narrative rather than a formal requirements section; they are marked required because they appear in the same bullet-point block as other hard requirements and are framed as expected experience, not optional extras.
Master's degree is stated as preferred; Bachelor's degree is the hard minimum.
The alt SOC (15-1211 Computer Systems Analysts) is noted because the title 'Programmer Analyst' and the systems-analysis language in the posting introduce some ambiguity, though the primary day-to-day work is clearly software development.
