Why we read it this way (7)

Python and Go are listed as alternatives ('Python and/or Go') in both the responsibilities and required qualifications — captured as a single required skill with Go as the alternative.

REST APIs and version control (Git) are inferred from the required qualifications' mention of 'APIs' and 'version control systems'; no specific VCS is named so Git is used as the canonical representative.

Docker and Kubernetes are listed under Preferred Qualifications as interchangeable containerization/orchestration options ('such as Docker or Kubernetes') — captured as preferred with each as the other's alternative.

AWS is listed under Preferred Qualifications and is preferred only.

AI/automation tools and agile experience appear under Preferred Qualifications but name no specific concrete technology, so they are omitted per the no-generic-concepts rule.

The degree requirement states 'BS in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience' — treated as None since equivalent experience is explicitly accepted.

The role is hybrid (minimum 60% on-site at Menlo Park / future Sunnyvale campus), not fully remote.
