Why we read it this way (4)
All skills are drawn from a single 'Technical Preferences' section — the heading uses 'Preferences' rather than a hard-requirements label. However, the language throughout is firm ('Strong experience', 'Solid working experience', 'Active experience', 'Hands-on experience'), so the core technologies are treated as hard gates. Datadog/New Relic are the exception, introduced with 'Familiarity with… such as', which reads as genuinely optional.
The 4+ years figure appears tied specifically to Python (or an OOP language equivalent), so it is captured on that skill as well as at the role level via total experience.
No compensation figures are disclosed in the posting.
The role appears to be in-office at Closinglock's downtown Austin headquarters; no remote option is mentioned.
