Why we read it this way (7)
Go is the primary language named; Java is listed as an explicit alternative ('Go or Java or other applicable languages'). Both are captured under a single skill with Java as the alternative.
Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, and ClickHouse are grouped together in a single 'plus' (nice-to-have) bullet; Cassandra, PostgreSQL, and MySQL appear in the same bullet — each group is emitted as one preferred skill with alternatives.
AWS, Azure, and GCP are listed together as a 'plus'; emitted as one preferred skill with alternatives.
Kubernetes, CRDs, and KEDA appear alongside Argo in a single 'plus' bullet. CRDs and KEDA are sub-features/extensions of Kubernetes rather than standalone tools, so Kubernetes is the primary skill; Argo is emitted separately as it is a distinct, separately-marketed platform.
Open source software experience is listed as a plus but names no specific technology, so it is omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
Compensation includes equity participation in addition to the stated cash range.
