Why we read it this way (3)
Vulkan and Metal are listed together under 'Familiarity with graphics APIs such as Vulkan and Metal' — framed as familiarity rather than a hard gate, so they are marked preferred. Vulkan is the primary skill with Metal as an alternative since they serve the same graphics API role on different platforms.
Shader programming and optimization appears in the Qualifications section with firm language ('Experience with'), so it is treated as a hard requirement. '3D math and linear algebra' and 'problem-solving/debugging' are generic concepts rather than named tools and are omitted per extraction rules.
No compensation figures are provided beyond a general mention of a 'competitive salary and benefits package.'
