Why we read it this way (6)
The role is primarily a linguistic QA/localization tester hybrid — the dominant day-to-day work is executing test cases and documenting localization bugs, which maps most closely to 15-1253 (Software QA Analysts and Testers). The strong linguistic/proofreading component could also fit 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other), noted as the runner-up.
The posting is listed as 90% remote but requires occasional in-person attendance at the Austin, TX office; it is not fully remote, so remote is set to false.
No specific years of experience are required at the role level; the requirements are competency-based rather than year-gated.
Preferred backgrounds (translation, localization, proofreading, copy editing, writing, journalism, marketing, linguistics) are listed under a clearly secondary 'Preferred Backgrounds' heading and are treated as preferred, not required.
The schedule is 35 hours/week (part-time hours), but the posting lists full benefits (401k, medical, dental, vision, paid leave), suggesting it is treated as a full-time engagement; classified as FullTime accordingly.
Spanish proficiency is specifically called out as 'from Spain' (Castilian/European Spanish), which is a meaningful dialect requirement noted here for sourcing purposes.
