Why we read it this way (6)
The JD states 10+ years of OOP experience and 8+ years of back-end development; the overall years minimum is set to 8 (the role-level gate), while the 5+ years of PHP is captured as the years demanded on that skill.
Memcached and Redis are both named as required caching systems used together ('Memcached and Redis'), not as interchangeable alternatives — they are emitted as separate required skills. The 'such as' qualifier in the JD ('caching systems such as Memcached and Redis') is a substitution qualifier on the category, but both named tools are listed under the hard-requirements section and are treated as gates.
JavaScript/TypeScript are listed as interchangeable ('JavaScript or TypeScript') in the qualifications; JavaScript is the primary with TypeScript as an alternative.
HTML and CSS appear alongside JavaScript/TypeScript in the same required qualifications bullet and are emitted as separate required skills.
The degree (Computer Science or related) appears only under Preferred Qualifications, so the degree requirement is set to None.
Video technologies, containers, codecs, live streaming, NGINX, WebSocket, Bash, PHPStan, PHPUnit, and CI/CD all appear under Preferred Qualifications and are marked preferred.
