Why we read it this way (5)
The posting names no specific city or office location; the CBSA is left blank. The role may be remote or at an unspecified Field AI office — the posting does not clarify.
The degree requirement (Bachelor's or Master's) explicitly accepts 'equivalent professional experience,' so it is treated as not a hard gate.
The 5–8 year experience range maps to a Senior band; the title carries no explicit seniority label.
This role sits at the boundary between QA/SDET (15-1253) and Software Developer (15-1252) — the posting emphasizes engineering rigor, CI/CD ownership, and framework architecture, but the primary deliverable is a test automation system, which tips it toward 15-1253.
Docker and AWS/GCP appear only under 'The Extras That Set You Apart' (the nice-to-have section) and are marked preferred accordingly.
