“or” means any one of them counts — you don't need all of them.
We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (6)
The role is explicitly manual QA — no test automation tools are mentioned or required.
Azure DevOps is listed under Requirements but qualified as 'a plus,' making it a preferred skill rather than a hard gate.
Compensation is stated as 'up to $45/hr,' so $45 is treated as the ceiling; no lower bound is given — min and max are both set to $45.
The 5–10 year range maps to a Senior-level role given the expectation of leading defect triages, facilitating meetings, and owning test coverage strategy; the title itself carries no seniority label.
A light alt-SOC of 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is noted because the role includes UAT facilitation, documentation authoring, and business-analyst-adjacent responsibilities, though QA testing is clearly primary.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
