Why we read it this way (7)
The JD lists Golang, Python, and Kotlin together as a group of interchangeable backend options ('technologies such as Golang, Python, and Kotlin'). They are emitted as three separate skills each listing the others as alternatives, since the posting treats them as a substitutable set rather than a required combination.
Azure API Management, Kong, and AWS API Gateway are presented as interchangeable examples of an API gateway/management solution; Azure API Management is used as the primary with the others as alternatives.
Machine learning, NLP, and healthcare technology experience are explicitly called out as 'a plus' and are marked preferred accordingly.
The role is posted via Jobgether on behalf of an unnamed partner company; the hiring employer and final process are managed externally.
The title 'Staff Software Development Engineer' and the described scope — setting API architecture direction, influencing platform strategy across teams, mentoring peers, and operating at the intersection of engineering and product — genuinely support a Staff-level classification.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Azure API Management.
