Why we read it this way (4)
The title 'QA Lead' carries no explicit seniority level word; advertised seniority is treated as Unspecified. However, the 10-year experience requirement and team-lead/mentoring responsibilities support a Senior classification.
Most skills in this posting are testing disciplines and domain knowledge rather than named tools or platforms. No specific defect-tracking tool (e.g. Jira), test management tool, or automation framework is mentioned anywhere in the posting.
'Equity plan administration knowledge' is explicitly called out as 'a plus', so it is marked preferred. The broader equity domain testing expertise is listed under Requirements and is treated as a hard gate.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Defect Management, Equity Plan Administration.
