Why we read it this way (8)
This role is based on the North Shore, Auckland, New Zealand — it is not a US-based position. US compensation benchmarks will not apply.
The posting presents Playwright as the preferred automation tool but explicitly accepts Selenium, XUnit, or 'other industry-standard automation tools and frameworks' as alternatives; all are listed under the Skills section and treated as a hard gate on automation tool proficiency.
Jira, Confluence, and Figma appear in the Skills section under a single bullet for documentation/designs; all three are treated as required given their placement in the primary skills block.
Jenkins is listed in the Skills section with 'or similar CI/CD tools', so well-known substitutes are captured as alternatives.
Performance testing (JMeter/LoadRunner) and cloud exposure (AWS) are explicitly labelled 'Bonus experience' and are marked as preferred accordingly.
No overall years-of-experience figure is stated; seniority is assessed as Mid based on the hands-on, team-embedded scope with no leadership or cross-team ownership signals.
No compensation range is mentioned in the posting.
This role's work location reads as outside the US — the candidate pool, comp, and contention benchmarks here are US-only (BLS employment, Adzuna/USAJOBS demand, and certified H-1B wages), so treat them as a rough US reference, not a local market.
