Why we read it this way (9)
This is a 30-month contract (with possible extension) under the New York State HBITS (Hourly-Based IT Services) contract vehicle; no hourly rate was published.
The posting is placed by GENESYS Consulting Services, Inc. as a staffing/consulting firm for a State of New York engagement; the likely work location is Albany, NY (State government), though no city is explicitly named.
Experience requirements are stated in months: 84 months (~7 years) of complex project QA/testing experience, 84 months of enterprise-level client-focused QA, 60 months of test plan/case/automation development, 60 months with Jira or ALM/Quality Center, 60 months of automated testing configuration (Selenium or Katalon Studio), and 36 months leading functional test planning in a Health and Human Services domain.
The 36-month Health and Human Services domain experience is listed as a hard requirement ('36 months of experience leading and managing functional test planning... with a focus on Health and Human Service domain') and is a meaningful gate, but it names no specific technology — it is a domain/leadership requirement captured in the overall years minimum and notes rather than as a named skill.
The Bachelor's degree requirement specifies 'coursework in Information Technology or related fields' with no equivalent-experience substitution offered, so it is treated as a hard degree gate.
Jira-related plug-ins are mentioned alongside Jira; ALM/Quality Center is listed as an alternative defect-tracking/test-planning tool. These are captured as alternatives on the Jira skill.
The posting does not specify an hourly rate, so no compensation figures are available.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): test plan development.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
