They are captured as a grouped alternative set to reflect this.
Java, Scala, Go, and Python are listed together as a language requirement ('strong proficiency in Java, Scala, Go, or Python'). They are captured as a single requirement with alternatives. Scala and Go are additionally called out as preferred production-grade languages ('preferably in Scala or Go') and are listed separately as preferred skills to surface that preference.
