Why we read it this way (8)
The required qualifications state 'C programming skills and/or SAS coding experience' — these are presented as interchangeable alternatives; C is listed as the primary with SAS as the alternative. SAS also appears separately under additional (preferred) competencies as a standalone item.
SQL and NoSQL are listed together under required database proficiency ('multiple preferred'); SQL is captured as the primary required skill with NoSQL as an alternative, and NoSQL is also listed separately as a preferred skill to reflect the 'multiple preferred' framing.
Jenkins is cited as an example of CI/CD tooling ('e.g. Jenkins') within the required qualifications section; per the section-placement rule it is treated as a hard gate, with CI/CD also captured as a required skill.
Jira and Confluence appear together under a single required-qualifications bullet ('collaboration tools such as Jira and Confluence'); Confluence is captured as an alternative to Jira since they serve overlapping collaboration functions in this context.
Git, GitHub, Gerrit, and CVS are all named in a single required source-control bullet; Git is the primary with the others as alternatives.
Public cloud experience ('at least one public cloud interface') appears under the additional/preferred competencies section; AWS, Azure, and GCP are listed as alternatives since no specific platform is named.
The degree requirement states a Bachelor's in CS/engineering 'or equivalent combination of related education, training and experience may be considered,' so the degree requirement is set to None.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
