Why we read it this way (4)
The job title is 'Sr. Software Developer in Test' (SDET), which blends test automation engineering with software development — the role's primary day-to-day work (designing/implementing automated tests, building test tooling, integrating into CI/CD) aligns most closely with 15-1253 (Software QA Analysts and Testers), though 15-1252 (Software Developers) is a reasonable runner-up given the SDET framing and emphasis on building tools.
The posting does not specify a work location city beyond Echodyne's known headquarters in Kirkland, WA (Seattle metro area); the CBSA reflects that inference.
Export-control eligibility (U.S. Citizen, green card holder, or asylum/refugee status) is required as part of the application process, though no formal government security clearance is explicitly gated.
pytest, requests, and Postman are listed together as interchangeable examples of API testing tooling under the required skills section; pytest is used as the primary name with the others as alternatives.
