Why we read it this way (5)
No work location is specified in the posting; CBSA and state fields are left blank. The role is associated with ICE (Intercontinental Exchange), which is headquartered in Atlanta, GA, but no city is stated in the JD.
The title 'Lead Quality Assurance Analyst' carries no standard seniority level word (Junior/Mid/Senior/Staff/Principal), so the title states no level. The 7+ years requirement and end-to-end workstream leadership scope support a Senior classification.
A Bachelor's degree is listed but the JD explicitly accepts 'equivalent practical experience,' so no formal degree is hard-required.
Xray and Jira are listed together in the required section ('Hands-on experience with Xray and Jira'); they are distinct tools and are emitted as separate required skills.
Playwright appears only under 'Preferred Knowledge and Experience' and is therefore marked as preferred.
