Why we read it this way (7)

The job title references 'APIGEE/RESTful API Developer' but the full requirements describe a broad Java full-stack engineering role (front-end Angular, back-end Spring Boot/microservices, GCP, databases); classified as Software Developers accordingly.

SQL/Oracle/PostgreSQL experience (5+ years) is listed as a hard requirement; PostgreSQL is emitted as the primary skill with MySQL and Oracle as alternatives since the JD treats them interchangeably.

GCP (Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, GCS Bucket) is listed as a required experience item; specific GCP sub-services appear only as illustrative examples within that requirement rather than as separately gated skills.

Kafka and Testing Methodologies appear under 'Skills Preferred'; Jira appears in both the required skills list and the preferred experience section — given the ambiguity, Jira is marked preferred since its only firm appearance is in the 'Skills Required' enumeration without explicit gating language, while the 'Experience Preferred' section explicitly calls it out as preferred.

AI/Expert Systems is listed under 'Skills Preferred' and 'Experience Preferred' only; omitted as it names no specific technology or tool.

Agile, TDD/BDD, OOP, and code quality analysis appear under 'Experience Preferred' or as general practices; omitted as they name no specific technology or tool.

No compensation information was provided in the posting.
