Why we read it this way (5)
The role is explicitly manual QA only — no test automation or scripting is mentioned anywhere in the posting.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree in a related field, or equivalent experience/certifications', so no formal degree is hard-gated.
Fluent Russian is listed as 'a strong plus' — a preferred signal, not a gate — and was omitted from the skills list as it is a language proficiency rather than a concrete technology or tool.
The posting lists two office locations: Tysons, VA and Greenville, DE. The Tysons, VA location anchors the role to the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria CBSA; Greenville, DE falls within the Philadelphia CBSA. The primary location is ambiguous, but Tysons, VA is listed first and is the more prominent market.
SDLC and testing methodologies are mentioned in the requirements section but are general concepts/methodologies rather than named tools, so they are omitted per extraction rules.
