Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (6)

The role title carries no seniority label, but 5+ years of experience, full ownership of strategy and suite direction, and mentoring responsibilities place this firmly at the Senior level.

GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and CircleCI are listed as interchangeable CI/CD platform examples under the requirements section; GitHub Actions is used as the primary name with the others as alternatives.

Ruby on Rails appears under 'Nice to Have' with an explicit note that the candidate won't write much Ruby — it is a preferred familiarity, not a hard gate.

Docker appears under 'Nice to Have' in the context of test infrastructure and environment provisioning.

Claude Code and GitHub Copilot appear under 'Nice to Have' as AI-assisted tooling experience; Claude Code is also mentioned as the tool currently used across engineering, but experience with it is framed as optional.

The alt SOC (15-1252 Software Developers) is noted because the role involves writing and owning production-quality test code and shaping CI/CD infrastructure, giving it meaningful software engineering character alongside its primary QA focus.
