A CS Degree is listed under 'The Extras' (the preferred/nice-to-have section), so it is treated as preferred rather than a hard requirement.
TDD, Agile/Scrum/Kanban, and service-oriented architecture experience are listed as required but name no specific tool or technology, so they are omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
SRE best practices (post-mortems, logging, alerting) and knowledge of financial systems are listed under 'The Extras' and are preferred; they name no specific tool so are omitted from the skills list.
Jenkins is listed under 'The Extras' alongside CI/CD, so both are marked preferred.
