Why we read it this way (5)
The job posting lists a Bachelor's or advanced degree as a requirement but explicitly accepts 'equivalent professional experience' as a substitute, so no minimum degree is hard-gated.
The 10-year minimum experience requirement is stated at the role level ('A minimum of 10 years of proven success in software development'), not tied to any specific technology.
AWS is the actual cloud platform used by the team (listed under 'The Tech'), but the requirements section frames cloud experience as 'AWS/Azure/GCP' — captured as preferred with alternatives.
TypeScript, JavaScript, Azure DevOps, and Git appear in the 'What Will Make You Stand Out' or 'The Tech' stack sections rather than the primary requirements block, so they are marked preferred.
The posting mentions a 15% bonus on top of the $175,000–$180,000 base salary; the bonus is not reflected in the compensation fields, which capture base salary only.
