The position involves debugging automation scripts, supporting performance testing, enforcing coding standards, and guiding less experienced engineers. It suits someone with several years of hands-on automation experience in Java or Python who can work independently on moderately complex testing challenges.

Why we read it this way (8)
The job title 'Software Engineer in Testing II' uses a numeric level suffix ('II') which maps to Mid-level advertised seniority; the 3+ years minimum experience and scope (independently implementing simple-to-medium frameworks, mentoring juniors) also support Mid.
Compensation is quoted with multiple state-specific ranges in the posting body; the Pay Range field at the bottom ($83,670–$161,815/yr) is the broadest national figure and is used here.
A Bachelor's degree is listed as the minimum education requirement, but the posting explicitly accepts 'equivalent combination of education and experience' as a substitute, so the degree requirement is set to None.
Java and Python each appear as preferred with 3+ years; they are listed as alternatives of each other since the posting treats them interchangeably. JavaScript appears in the 'Knowledgeable of' section alongside Java and Python as coding languages for automation.
White-box testing (3+ years preferred) is listed under the Preferred experience section.
All technology skills (Selenium, TestNG, JUnit, Appium, Docker, Kubernetes, cloud platforms, CI/CD tools, performance testing tools, API testing tools) appear under 'Knowledgeable of' or 'Knowledge and Skills' narrative sections rather than a hard-gated requirements block, so all are marked preferred.
The role has meaningful software development characteristics (framework design, coding, CI/CD integration), making 15-1252 Software Developers a plausible alternative classification; however, the primary focus on test automation, QA frameworks, and testing tools points to 15-1253.
Caller marked this a fully-remote role — scored against the national candidate pool.
