Why we read it this way (6)
The title 'Python Developer' carries no seniority level, so advertised seniority is Unspecified. The requirements gate on 4+ years of OOP experience and 2+ years of backend Python, which supports a Mid-level classification — the scope (maintaining/enhancing trade support platforms, contributing to a data platform) is team-level delivery rather than component ownership end-to-end.
OOP is listed as a named requirement with an explicit year count (4+); it is retained as a skill because it functions as a concrete, measurable gate in the qualifications section.
Understanding of equity derivatives business is listed as a requirement but softened with 'or strong willingness to learn' — it names a domain, not a technology or tool, so it is omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
AI/ML experience is explicitly labeled 'Bonus' in the posting and is therefore marked as preferred.
Full-stack development is mentioned in responsibilities but no specific front-end framework or technology is named, so no additional skill is emitted.
Visa sponsorship is explicitly unavailable; candidates must already have US work authorization.
