Why we read it this way (7)
The degree requirement is a Bachelor's in CS or related field, but the posting explicitly accepts 'equivalent years' experience' as a substitute, so no hard degree gate is set.
The 'preferably in Java' qualifier in the summary is overridden by the Required Experience section, which firmly gates on 2+ years of Java development.
OS X and Linux are listed together as a single required environment; both are captured as separate skills since they are distinct platforms.
REST/JSON services, Docker, third-party APIs, AWS APIs, large-scale distributed web applications, and TDD are all listed under the Preferred section and are marked accordingly.
AWS APIs appear in the Preferred section alongside Docker; AWS itself is listed as required in the Required Experience block — the two are captured separately with AWS as required and the preferred items marked as such.
No compensation, employment type, or security clearance information is provided.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Test Driven Development.
