Why we read it this way (6)

The Bachelor's degree is listed as 'preferred', not required — the degree requirement is set to None accordingly.

Terraform appears under 'Required Skills/Abilities' but is framed with 'familiarity with … such as Terraform', which is a softer gate than the other required skills; however, its placement in the required section means it is treated as a hard gate per section-placement rules.

Kubernetes/ECS/EKS and event-driven/CDC experience appear under the 'Preferred Experience' section and are marked optional.

The salary range ($140,000–$160,000/year) is disclosed in compliance with NYC law and applies across the US for this remote role.

Monitoring/observability and distributed systems design are called out as requirements but name no specific tool; they are omitted from the skills list as generic capabilities rather than named technologies.

Caller marked this a fully-remote role — scored against the national candidate pool.
