Why we read it this way (4)

Node.js is listed as 'preferred' within the qualifications section, but it sits alongside TypeScript (firmly required) as the primary back-end technology. It has been marked required given the strong preference language and its centrality to the described back-end work; React is similarly marked required due to 'strongly preferred' language in the same gating section.

Docker and Kubernetes are listed together under 'containerization' with 'familiarity' language, indicating a lower bar; they are captured as preferred and as alternatives to each other since the posting treats them as a paired concept rather than distinct hard gates.

A Bachelor's degree in CS or related field is listed, but the posting explicitly accepts 'equivalent practical experience,' so the degree requirement is set to None.

No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
