Why we read it this way (5)
The role title is 'Software Developer in Test' (SDET) — it sits squarely in QA automation (15-1253), though the heavy Java/microservices engineering emphasis makes 15-1252 a plausible runner-up.
The posting lists testing tools (JUnit, RestAssured, Playwright, Protractor, JMeter) under the Qualifications section without a separate 'required vs. preferred' split, so all are treated as hard gates. The three items explicitly flagged 'preferred' — AI integration, banking/finance exposure, and ETL testing experience — are marked as preferred.
React is mentioned only as 'exposure to React front end,' which is softer than the firm requirements around Java and REST APIs; it is marked preferred accordingly.
Location is inferred as the New York metro area based on iCapital's known headquarters; the role is hybrid (Mon–Thu in office, Fri remote), so remote=false.
The JD mentions 'managerial experience' in the description but lists no direct-report or people-management responsibilities in the qualifications; this is treated as a hands-on IC role (15-1253) rather than a management role.
