We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (7)
No work location or CBSA is specified in the posting. The posting explicitly states a preference against candidates residing in 14 named US states (Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee), suggesting a remote or hybrid arrangement, but the posting does not explicitly confirm fully remote work.
The experience requirement is stated as '8 years with a University Degree OR 5 years with an Advanced Degree.' The 8-year figure is used as the overall years minimum (the lower bar for the more common path); the 5-year advanced-degree path is an alternative the posting offers.
A Bachelor's degree in a technical discipline is hard-required; an advanced degree is preferred and unlocks the lower experience threshold.
The posting mentions 'at least 2 years in a regulated industry is preferred' — this is framed as preferred, not a hard gate.
No compensation figures were included in the posting despite a reference to 'target compensation ranges are listed' — likely truncated; no comp fields could be populated.
The alt SOC (15-1252 Software Developers) is noted because the role includes code reviews, SDLC participation, and test automation strategy — activities that overlap with software development — but the primary framing is quality assurance and compliance.
Ignored 4 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): FDA 21 CFR Part 820, software test automation, risk-based software validation, IEC 81001-5-1.
