Why we read it this way (6)
No work location is specified in the posting — city, state, and CBSA are unknown. The role may be remote or office-based at an undisclosed location.
All qualifications are listed under a single 'Desired Qualifications' heading, making the hard-gate vs. preferred distinction genuinely ambiguous. Python and AWS (with Terraform) are treated as required given the firm language in the responsibilities section ('Develop and maintain Tekmerion's Python codebase', 'Build and manage cloud infrastructure on AWS… and terraform'). All other named technologies are marked preferred because they appear only under the 'Desired Qualifications' heading with softening language ('e.g.', 'familiarity with', 'knowledge of', 'is a bonus').
numpy, pandas, and polars are listed as interchangeable examples of 'data and numerical libraries' — each is captured separately but all three are cross-listed as alternatives of one another.
ECS, S3, and RDS are listed as illustrative AWS service examples ('e.g., ECS, S3, RDS') under the preferred qualifications block.
TypeScript is explicitly called 'a bonus' in the posting.
The role blends software engineering, data pipeline work, and cloud infrastructure; the alt SOC reflects the meaningful data-engineering component.
