Why we read it this way (7)
The job posting explicitly states this is an IN-OFFICE position in Boston, MA. The caller has overridden this to remote=true with a national candidate pool; the metro has been left blank accordingly.
Node.js/Next.js is listed under Required Qualifications as 'preferably in Node.js/Next.js environments' — the 'preferably' qualifier softens Node.js slightly, but it sits in the required section and is the only named environment, so Node.js is treated as a hard gate. Next.js is listed as a secondary preference within that phrase and is marked preferred.
GCP is listed under Knowledge and Skills (a requirements-style section) with 'or equivalent platforms' — treated as a hard gate on cloud security capability; AWS and Azure are the primary equivalents.
Penetration testing appears both in the responsibilities (as a duty) and under Preferred Qualifications ('is a plus') — the preferred-qualifications framing governs, so it is marked preferred.
Terraform security hardening is explicitly called 'a plus' under Preferred Qualifications.
The alt SOC (15-1252 Software Developers) is noted because the role includes building and maintaining security tooling integrated into CI/CD pipelines, which has a meaningful software-engineering component alongside the dominant security-analyst work.
Caller marked this a fully-remote role — scored against the national candidate pool.
