Why we read it this way (7)
The posting is titled 'Test Engineer' and sits within Supply Chain Operations, focused on server production testing — a genuine QA/test role. However, it also requires substantial code development for test infrastructure, making 15-1252 Software Developers a credible alternative.
The minimum qualifications present a tiered education/experience matrix: the lowest bar is 11 years of experience with no degree, or 7 years with a Bachelor's, or 5 years with a Master's, or 3 years with a Doctorate. Because equivalent experience is explicitly accepted in lieu of a degree, the degree requirement is set to None. The 7-year figure (Bachelor's + experience) is used as the overall years minimum as the most common path.
The 'Preferred Qualifications' section at the top of the posting (5+ years, Python/TCL/SQL/C/C++/JavaScript/Perl/shell scripting, Linux/UNIX/Solaris, etc.) is framed as preferred, so those skills are marked accordingly.
The 'Coding Experience' requirement (6 years with SQL, C/C++, JavaScript) and 'Database Experience' (4 years) appear under the 'Minimum Job Qualifications — Job Skills' section and are treated as hard gates with the years demanded set.
Python, TCL, Perl, and shell scripting appear only in the preferred qualifications section alongside C/C++, SQL, and JavaScript; they are grouped as alternatives to the primary scripting/programming skill rather than separate hard gates.
Cloud platform experience (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud — 3 years) appears under 'Preferred Job Qualifications' and is marked preferred.
No compensation figures are provided.
