Why we read it this way (8)
The JD requires 8+ years of total professional experience, with a minimum of 5 of those years specifically in VoIP, networking, and application-based testing.
A BS in EE, CS, or related field is listed as 'preferred' with equivalent experience explicitly accepted, so no formal degree is hard-gated.
POTS/legacy environment familiarity (modems, alarm systems, life safety equipment) is stated as 'required' in the requirements section despite the softer 'familiarity with' phrasing.
Linux experience is mentioned with 'basic Linux administration skills are a plus,' placing it firmly in the preferred/nice-to-have category.
LTE protocols, generative AI/AI-assisted tools, desktop/mobile UI testing, FAX/alarm signaling troubleshooting, and database administration are all framed as 'desirable' or 'a plus' — preferred, not hard gates.
The compensation range ($130,000–$160,000) is explicitly scoped to the San Francisco Bay Area; Ooma is headquartered in Sunnyvale, CA (San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara CBSA). No remote status is stated, so remote is set to false.
The role involves both manual and automated testing; test automation is listed in the requirements section as a hard gate.
Ignored 5 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): test plan/test case development, generative AI / AI-assisted testing, desktop/mobile UI testing, FAX/alarm signaling troubleshooting, database administration.
