Why we read it this way (6)
The JD states '10+ years of experience' tied specifically to Python and Django; this is also treated as the role-level experience floor (the overall years minimum of 10).
Elasticsearch appears in both the duties section (as a responsibility) and the Preferred Experience section. Because it is framed as 'Preferred' in the explicit qualifications block, it is marked preferred rather than required.
REST API experience appears in the duties list but is placed under Preferred Experience in the qualifications block, so it is marked preferred.
The posting notes candidates may reside in the US or Canada; the salary range ($190,000–$205,000) is stated without specifying currency — defaulting to USD per convention, but Canadian candidates should confirm the applicable currency.
The Bachelor's degree requirement is stated as a hard gate under 'Required Education and Experience' with no equivalent-experience substitution offered.
