Why we read it this way (7)
The 'Must have skills' section explicitly calls out Amazon Aurora, MariaDB, MySQL, and PostgreSQL; all other required skills are drawn from the main qualifications block which uses firm gating language.
Tungsten Replicator is listed in the qualifications block with firm language ('Experience with replication technologies such as Tungsten or similar tools'); 'or similar' means the specific tool is interchangeable, but the replication-technology requirement itself is a hard gate — alternatives field is left sparse as no other named tool is specified in the posting.
Monitoring tools PMM (Percona), CloudWatch, and New Relic appear in the responsibilities narrative rather than the qualifications/requirements block, so they are marked preferred.
AWS DMS appears only in the responsibilities section (not the qualifications block), so it is marked preferred.
The posting references AI/prompt engineering and MCP platform integration as a requirement, but these name no concrete, canonical technology tool and are therefore omitted per extraction rules.
No compensation range is stated in the posting.
Role is hybrid onsite (3 days/week in Atlanta, GA 30328) — not fully remote.
