Why we read it this way (6)
The role title is 'Quality Engineer' with no level modifier, so advertised seniority is Unspecified. The 3–8 year range and the scope (building frameworks from scratch, partnering across teams) best fit Mid-to-Senior; the lower bound of the stated range (3 years) anchors the band at Mid per the tiebreaker rule.
The alt SOC (15-1252 Software Developers) is a genuine runner-up: the JD explicitly frames this as a coding/engineering role ('writing real code', 'engineering background specializing in quality, not a testing background in scripts', 'designing agentic testing frameworks'), which blurs the line between SDET and software developer.
The entire stack (TypeScript, Node.js, NestJS, Kubernetes, AWS, React Native) is presented under a 'Tools We Use' narrative section with the explicit caveat 'you don't need experience with our exact stack' — none of these are hard gates.
AI-assisted development tools (Claude or Cursor) appear both in the 'You Bring' requirements section ('Comfort with AI-native development using tools like Claude or Cursor') and the stack narrative. The 'comfort with' framing softens this to preferred rather than a hard gate.
No compensation figures are disclosed beyond 'competitive base salary, stock options, and health benefits.'
