Why we read it this way (5)
This posting is clearly targeting new or recent graduates ('Graduating with a Bachelor's degree…') with no stated years of experience requirement — the role is entry-level despite carrying no 'Junior' label in the title.
The JD emphasizes strong programming ability as a hard requirement but names no specific language or framework; no concrete technology skill could be extracted beyond the categories listed.
Version control is called out explicitly as a required practice ('managing your code and configs in version control'), though no specific tool (e.g. Git) is named.
Threat modeling is listed in the 'About You' requirements section with firm language, so it is treated as a hard gate even though it is a methodology rather than a named tool — it is the most concrete technical skill named.
No compensation range is disclosed in the posting.
