Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Aug 1, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (6)

The posting names no specific tools or frameworks anywhere (e.g., no Selenium, Postman, JMeter, Playwright, pytest, or Jenkins are mentioned), so all skills are captured as capability areas rather than named products. If specific tooling matters for screening, it should be clarified with the client.

Utility, energy, or regulated-industry experience is explicitly listed as preferred, not required.

The '5–10 years' range maps to the overall years minimum of 5. The 'III' level in the title and the scope of responsibilities (leading triage, setting baselines, cross-functional ownership) support a Senior classification.

Duration of 5 months indicates a contract engagement.

Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): defect management, end-to-end testing.

Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
