Python, browser automation (Selenium/CDP/Playwright), browser fingerprinting, third-party API integration, and Fintech experience all appear under the explicit 'Nice to haves' section.
Compensation is stated as base salary only; equity and benefits are mentioned separately but not quantified.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): backend engineering, browser automation, third-party API integration.
