Why we read it this way (8)
The 'Engineer II' title maps to a Mid-level band; the 2+ years experience requirements are consistent with that level.
A Bachelor's degree in CS or related field is listed, but the JD explicitly accepts 'any suitable combination of education, experience and training,' so no hard degree gate applies.
Docker and Kubernetes are listed together as 'Docker and/or Kubernetes' under the requirements section — emitted as one skill with Kubernetes as an alternative.
Infrastructure-as-code is a hard gate; CloudFormation, Terraform, and AWS SAM are listed as interchangeable options — Terraform is used as the primary name with the others as alternatives.
FastAPI, Jenkins, GitHub, and Airflow appear in the 'What You Will Work On' (responsibilities) section rather than the 'What You Bring' (requirements) section — treated as preferred/stack context.
Generative AI/LLMs, MLOps, Salesforce APIs, and legal domain experience are explicitly framed as 'Exposure to' or 'Familiarity with' / 'Prior experience' under what reads as a secondary nice-to-have block — treated as preferred.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Location is not explicitly stated; Nike's headquarters in Beaverton, OR (Portland metro CBSA) is assumed given the company context.
