Why we read it this way (9)

The role is titled 'Sr. Full Stack Developer (Front-end Specialist)' with a primary focus on Angular frontend work, but also requires substantial Java/Spring Boot backend and cloud/infrastructure skills — clearly a full-stack software developer role (15-1252) rather than a web developer (15-1254).

Degree requirement is listed as a Bachelor's 'and/or equivalent years of work experience,' so no hard degree gate applies.

The posting is currently remote but notes the office is in Denver, CO; the role appears open to fully remote candidates.

AWS is listed under requirements with 'AWS/Cloud platforms' phrasing — alternatives include Azure and GCP as the posting explicitly allows equivalent cloud platforms.

Figma is listed under requirements as part of the UX/UI collaboration expectation ('translating Figma designs into functional, accessible components').

Message Queues appear in the responsibilities/stack description rather than a hard-requirements section.

CI/CD and AI tools appear in the responsibilities narrative and a 'plus' callout respectively, so both are marked preferred.

DevSecOps practices (CI/CD security, automated testing, vulnerability scanning) are explicitly called 'a plus' in the posting.

Familiarity with the Affordable Care Act or health insurance industry is 'highly preferred' per the posting — not captured as a named technology skill.
