Why we read it this way (8)
Python and Golang are listed together under required qualifications with 'and/or' phrasing — both are captured as required, each as an alternative for the other, since either satisfies the gate.
AWS is required ('AWS or comparable cloud platforms') — Azure and GCP are listed as alternatives per the 'or comparable' qualifier.
The Golang preferred skill (1+ year of production experience) is a duplicate of the required Golang skill but with a specific the years demanded of 1; it is listed separately under the preferred section to preserve that detail.
Terraform, CloudFormation, and AWS CDK are grouped together under Infrastructure as Code in the preferred section — Terraform is the primary name with the others as alternatives.
React and Redux appear together in the preferred section under front-end experience; they are distinct technologies and emitted as separate preferred skills.
The degree requirement accepts 'equivalent experience' in lieu of a Bachelor's degree, so the degree requirement is set to None.
GraphQL appears in the role narrative/context description but is not listed under required or preferred qualifications — omitted from skills accordingly.
