Why we read it this way (7)
The JD is a formal DOL-style labor certification posting. All technologies are listed under a single 'Position Requires 24 Months of Experience In' block, making every named tool a hard gate.
The database requirement is stated as 'MongoDB, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, or Redis' — these are presented as alternatives for the same requirement; MongoDB is listed first with the others captured as alternatives.
SonarQube, OAuth2, and JWT are grouped together with 'or' in the original; they are treated as alternatives for one security/quality tooling requirement, with SonarQube as the primary name.
The degree requirement is a Master's degree with no 'or equivalent experience' escape clause, making it a hard gate.
The role title carries no seniority level ('Software Engineer'), and the experience requirement is only 24 months — consistent with a Mid-level band despite the broad technology list.
The caller has instructed that this is a fully-remote, national role; no metro is inferred despite the Eden Prairie, MN address listed in the posting.
Caller marked this a fully-remote role — scored against the national candidate pool.
