Why we read it this way (6)

The role title is 'Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET)' with no seniority level in the title; advertised seniority is Unspecified. The 3+ years requirement and scope (building/maintaining test infrastructure, no people management) support a Mid-level classification.

Docker and Kubernetes are listed together under a single 'such as' clause in the required section ('containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes'). Both are named explicitly and treated as a paired hard gate on containerization/orchestration knowledge; they are listed as separate skills since both are used together rather than being interchangeable substitutes.

JUnit, Pytest, Cucumber, and Cypress are all listed under 'Nice to Have' and are treated as a single interchangeable-options skill group for testing frameworks.

Jenkins, CircleCI, and Drone are listed under 'Nice to Have' as CI/CD platform examples.

The compensation range ($90,000–$110,000/year) is noted as provided per the California Equal Pay Act, though the primary work location is Bozeman, MT (4 days/week in-office, 1 day remote).

The role is primarily in-person in Bozeman, MT (4 days/week); remote=false reflects this. The one flexible day does not make the role fully remote.
