Why we read it this way (5)
The role lists two possible onsite locations — McLean, VA and Plano, TX. McLean, VA (Washington DC metro, CBSA 47900) is listed first and is the primary location used here; the Plano, TX location (Dallas-Fort Worth metro, CBSA 19100) is an equally valid alternative.
The 9+ years requirement is explicitly tied to Java and Spring Boot together in the required qualifications section, so it is captured both as the role-level overall years minimum and as the years demanded on those two skills.
Monitoring/observability tools (Splunk, Dynatrace, Grafana, Prometheus, AWS CloudWatch) appear under Preferred Qualifications as a group of interchangeable options; Splunk is used as the primary with the others listed as alternatives.
OWASP security practices, enterprise architecture patterns, distributed systems architectures, and financial services domain experience appear only under Preferred Qualifications and name no specific tool or technology, so they are omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
