Experience requirement is stated as '1–2+ years', placing this squarely at the Junior/entry level of the QA career ladder.
Jira is listed as an example defect-tracking tool alongside Azure DevOps ('e.g., Jira, Azure DevOps'); the requirement is for experience with at least one such tool, so both are captured as alternatives.
Regression, functional, and usability testing appear in the 'What You'll Do' responsibilities section rather than the requirements block; exploratory testing is called out in requirements ('conduct effective exploratory testing') and is marked required accordingly.
Agile/sprint ceremonies appear only in the responsibilities section, not as a stated requirement, so it is marked preferred.
