Why we read it this way (10)
The JD lists AWS and/or GCP as the required cloud platform; AWS is named first and GCP is captured as an alternative on the same skill.
Terraform, Kubernetes, and Docker appear within the same required cloud-platform sentence and are treated as hard gates.
Python is required ('strong programming skills in Python or a similar language'); 'similar language' is an open-ended substitution qualifier but no specific alternative is named — Python is retained as the canonical required skill.
React and JavaScript appear in the Requirements section ('Front-end development experience with React and JavaScript') and are treated as hard gates.
SQL optimization and ETL system design appear in the Requirements section but are framed with 'familiarity with' — a softer qualifier — so ETL is marked preferred; SQL is retained as required given the explicit 'SQL optimization' call-out alongside relational databases.
LLMs and agent-based systems are explicitly called 'a plus' and are marked preferred.
Biotechnology/life-sciences domain experience is listed as 'preferred' and names no specific technology, so it is omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
Compensation is quoted as a base salary range; bonus and equity are additional but not quantified in the posting.
No degree requirement is stated; the JD names no minimum education credential.
Caller marked this a fully-remote role — scored against the national candidate pool.
