Why we read it this way (7)
The role is a people-management position (direct reports, team building, budget ownership, vendor management) reporting to a VP of Engineering — classified as a Computer and Information Systems Manager rather than an individual-contributor QA code. The alt SOC (15-1253) reflects the strong QA/testing domain content.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree … or equivalent practical experience,' so no formal degree is treated as a hard gate.
The four test automation frameworks (Selenium, Cypress, PyTest, Robot Framework) are listed together as interchangeable examples under Required Qualifications. Similarly, Postman and REST Assured are paired as API testing tool examples. Each pair/group is emitted as a separate skill with alternatives rather than four separate must-have skills, reflecting that the JD treats them as a menu.
Cloud platform requirement names AWS, Azure, and GCP as interchangeable options; AWS is used as the primary with the others as alternatives.
Jenkins and GitLab CI are listed as CI/CD examples alongside Docker and Kubernetes; all appear under Required Qualifications.
Observability/monitoring tools (Grafana, Prometheus, Datadog, Splunk) appear under Preferred Qualifications.
4+ years of QA leadership/people management is a stated sub-requirement within the 10+ years overall experience gate.
