Why we read it this way (5)
The entire requirements section is framed under 'We'd love it if you had' — a clearly aspirational/preferred heading — so all named technologies are marked preferred rather than required. No hard-gate requirements section exists in this posting.
The role title is 'Software Development Engineer' with no seniority modifier; the 4–6 years experience range and the scope of work (team contributor, not org-wide technical authority) support a Mid-level classification despite the 'deep expertise' language used in some bullets.
A bachelor's degree is listed under the same preferred heading and explicitly states 'Experience will be considered in lieu of a degree,' so no minimum degree is set.
Google Cloud (GCP) is mentioned in the narrative as a platform the team uses alongside Azure, but is not listed as a discrete skill requirement; it is captured as an alternative to Azure.
Shell scripting is mentioned alongside Maven under the preferred section but names no specific tool/language beyond a generic category; omitted per the generic-concept rule.
