CloudFormation and Terraform are listed as interchangeable infrastructure-as-code options within the same requirement; one skill is emitted with the other as an alternative.
Scripting (Python, PowerShell, Bash) is listed in the responsibilities section rather than a formal Required Qualifications block, but is framed as a concrete delivery expectation ('Develop automation solutions using…'); treated as a required skill with the named options as alternatives.
Amazon Redshift, SQL Server, and GitHub appear under the explicit 'Preferred / Nice-to-Have Skills' heading.
Monitoring/observability platforms are mentioned as preferred but name no specific tool, so no skill was emitted for that item.
