Why we read it this way (8)
The title 'Software Engineer in Test' carries no explicit seniority level, so the title states no level; however, the 5+ years requirement and breadth of skills support a Senior classification.
UI test automation is listed as a required capability with Katalon and Cypress named as examples ('or similar'); these are captured as alternatives rather than separate skills since the JD treats them as interchangeable options for the same requirement.
Similarly, API testing tools (soapUI, RestAssured), performance testing tools (JMeter, K6), test frameworks (Cucumber, RSpec, FitNesse, TestNG), OO languages (Java, C#, C++), scripting languages (JavaScript, Python, Ruby), and relational databases (Oracle, MySQL) are each framed as 'or similar' interchangeable options within the requirements section.
Docker, Linux, and WebLogic are explicitly called out as 'a plus' and are marked preferred accordingly.
Healthcare domain experience is also listed as 'a plus' but names no concrete technology, so it is omitted per the no-generic-concepts rule.
Degree requirement is None because the JD explicitly accepts 'equivalent technical experience' in lieu of a Bachelor's or Master's degree.
The salary range ($96,000–$103,000/year) is noted as potentially covering multiple career levels at HealthEdge.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): UI test automation.
