Why we read it this way (7)
The title 'Software Developer in Test' (SDET) straddles QA automation (15-1253) and software development (15-1252); the role is classified as 15-1253 because the primary deliverables are automated test suites, performance/load testing, and QA engineering — but the strong Java/microservices development emphasis makes 15-1252 a genuine runner-up.
The posting requires 7+ years of QA engineering experience overall and 4+ years within Agile/CICD teams; 7 years is used as the overall years minimum.
Jenkins and TeamCity are listed together as interchangeable CI server options ('Teamcity/Jenkins'); they are captured as a single skill with the other as an alternative.
Playwright, Protractor, and JMeter are listed together under 'Testing' with 'or similar', indicating interchangeability; Playwright is used as the primary name with Protractor and JMeter as alternatives.
React front-end exposure and AI integration experience are both explicitly marked 'preferred' or 'exposure to' in the posting, so they are flagged as preferred rather than required.
The role is hybrid (Mon–Thu in-office, Fri remote), not fully remote.
No specific office location is stated beyond iCapital's known headquarters in New York, NY; the CBSA is inferred from that.
