Why we read it this way (5)
The job title mentions 'Java Lead, Node.js, AWS' but the requirements treat Java, Python, Node.js, and .NET as interchangeable language options — Java is listed first and in the title, so it is captured as the primary with the others as alternatives.
Docker, Kubernetes (EKS), CloudWatch, and CloudTrail appear under a 'Familiarity with' qualifier, so they are marked as preferred rather than required.
AWS Developer Associate certification is explicitly noted as 'preferred' in the posting.
Security Groups is a sub-feature of VPC/AWS networking rather than a separately marketed tool; it is covered under the VPC and IAM requirements.
No compensation, employment type, or specific metro location was stated — the role is listed as fully remote anywhere in the US.
