Why we read it this way (8)
The job title is 'Python Developer' / 'Software Engineer' with no seniority level in the title; advertised seniority is Unspecified. The 2+ years requirement and scope (building APIs, integrating third-party systems, participating in agile ceremonies) support a Mid-level classification.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field preferred' — the word 'preferred' makes this non-mandatory, so the degree requirement is set to None.
No work location or CBSA is specified in the posting. The benefits section mentions 'Work From Home,' and no office location is listed, so the role is treated as remote.
AWS services (Lambda, Step Functions, API Gateway, SQS) appear in both the Requirements section and the Technical Environment section. They are listed under Requirements with 'familiarity with' language, which is softer than a hard gate; however, the Key Responsibilities section firmly requires creating and maintaining these services. On balance they are treated as required given the responsibilities framing.
Serverless Framework is listed in Requirements with 'exposure to or interest in' language, making it clearly preferred rather than a hard gate.
SOAP is explicitly called 'a plus' in the Requirements section.
GitHub, Jira, and Coralogix appear only in the Technical Environment narrative section, not in the Requirements block, so they are marked as preferred.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
