Why we read it this way (5)
The title is simply 'QA Engineer' with no level modifier; advertised seniority is Unspecified. However, the 5+ years requirement, ownership of QA strategy, and cross-functional leadership scope support a Senior classification.
Jira is listed in the required qualifications section with the qualifier 'or similar issue-tracking tools' — alternatives reflect common substitutes; the underlying capability is a hard gate.
API testing experience is called out explicitly in the required qualifications ('API-driven and non-API software environments') and treated as a hard gate, even though no specific tool is named.
Test automation frameworks, Git, and CI/CD all appear exclusively under the 'Nice to Have' section and are therefore preferred.
No compensation, degree requirement, or employment type is mentioned in the posting.
