Why we read it this way (7)
The role is titled 'QA Engineer' with no seniority level in the title, so advertised seniority is Unspecified. However, the 6+ years requirement and the expectation to architect and build a test automation framework from scratch support a Senior classification.
JavaScript, Java, and C# are listed as interchangeable options under Required Qualifications ('at least one of our core languages') — emitted as a single skill with alternatives.
CI/CD integration is called out as a required responsibility; no specific tool is named in the required section, so no specific tool is marked required. Jenkins appears only under the Nice-to-Have section.
Jira appears under Nice-to-Have ('Knowledge of project management tools such as Jira'), despite also being mentioned in the responsibilities narrative. The explicit preferred section placement governs.
Unity (including Unity Test Framework and AltTester) and the Haxe ecosystem are listed under Preferred/Nice-to-Have, as is Postman for API testing.
The role is hybrid (two in-office days per week in Seattle), so remote is false.
Compensation is stated as $110,000–$120,000 + bonus + equity; bonus and equity are noted but cannot be quantified from the posting.
