Why we read it this way (7)
The compensation range ($110,218–$137,773/year) is cited as Colorado-specific per the Equal Pay for Equal Work Act; actual compensation for candidates in other states may differ.
Java is explicitly required with a 3+ year minimum. Node.js is stated as a hard requirement ('Experience developing NodeJS services') under the 'What You Bring' qualifications block, but no year count is given.
TypeScript, Identity Management, MCP server experience, and AI tooling experience are all called out as 'highly desired' within the same qualifications block — treated as preferred rather than hard gates.
CI/CD and test automation appear both in the 'What You Bring' block (as 'familiarity with') and in the 'Skills valued on this team' section; the softer framing ('familiarity') and secondary section placement support treating these as preferred.
The '5-7+ years' overall experience range is mapped to a minimum of 5 years for the overall years minimum.
Distributed systems experience is stated as a requirement alongside REST APIs; it names no specific technology and is therefore not emitted as a named skill.
