Why we read it this way (7)
The posting opens with a 'Requirements' block that lists a Master's degree as the minimum — however, the later 'Qualifications' section (which appears to be a secondary or boilerplate block) accepts a Bachelor's or equivalent experience. The stricter gate from the primary Requirements block is used here, so a Master's degree is treated as the hard minimum.
The vector database requirement names FAISS, Pinecone, Weaviate, and Azure AI Search as a group; these are captured as a single skill (FAISS as primary) with the others as alternatives, since the JD treats them interchangeably.
Model Risk Management (MRM) frameworks appear in the Requirements block but name no specific tool or platform — omitted from the skills list as a methodology/domain concept rather than a named technology.
VS Code and JIRA appear in the Requirements block alongside GitHub; VS Code and JIRA are omitted as they are generic development utilities rather than meaningful hiring gates, while GitHub is retained as the most signal-bearing tool.
The 'Desired skills' and the later 'Qualifications' section are treated as preferred/secondary; Agile, NLP, cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP), and Java/C++ are drawn from those sections and marked preferred.
