Why we read it this way (8)
The posting lists 1–3 years of experience, which maps to Junior–Mid; Junior is used as the lower bound per tiebreaker rules.
A Master's in Computer Science is described as 'ideally', making it a preference rather than a hard requirement — the degree requirement is set to None.
Object-oriented programming and asynchronous programming are listed as required skills but name no distinct tool or technology beyond Python itself, so they are captured under the Python requirement rather than emitted as separate skills.
Derivatives pricing experience (Numerix / Murex / QuantLib) is listed under Preferred skills; Murex is also referenced in the duties narrative as the integration target, but the explicit section placement governs — treated as preferred.
Web UI development is listed under Preferred skills.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Web UI development.
