Why we read it this way (7)
The posting explicitly states 'We're seeking talented contractors', so this is classified as a contract engagement.
AWS and infrastructure-as-code are listed under Required Skills but framed with 'familiarity with', which softens the gate slightly; they are retained as required given their placement in the required section. The infra-as-code requirement names no specific tool — Terraform, Pulumi, and CloudFormation are listed as common substitutes.
DataDog is listed under Required Skills with 'or similar observability tools', so well-known alternatives are captured.
MySQL is listed under Required Skills with 'or other RDBMS', so common relational database alternatives are captured.
Distributed systems experience is listed under Preferred Experience as 'a plus', so it is marked preferred.
The 3+ years figure comes from the Preferred Experience section rather than a hard-requirements block; however, it is the only experience signal in the posting and is treated as the role-level minimum.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
