We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (8)
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree (or equivalent)' with 10+ years, or a Master's with 8+ years — because equivalent experience is explicitly accepted in lieu of a degree, the degree requirement is set to None. The 10-year figure (the lower bound for the bachelor's path) is used as the overall years minimum.
No work location is specified in the posting; the CBSA is left blank. The role is at a government contractor supporting national-security missions, which typically implies on-site or cleared-facility work — remote is set to false accordingly.
Selenium and Playwright are listed together as interchangeable examples of automated testing tools under Desired Experience, so they are captured as a single preferred skill with Playwright as an alternative.
Spark and Databricks are listed together as examples of data-heavy application platforms under Desired Experience and are captured as a single preferred skill with Databricks as an alternative.
LangChain-based testing for AI is listed as a distinct desired tool alongside Selenium/Playwright and is captured separately as preferred.
The alternative occupation code runner-up (15-1252 Software Developers) reflects the Release Management and infrastructure baseline ownership responsibilities, which add a development/engineering dimension beyond pure QA testing.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Release Management.
Requires a TS/SCI clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
