• You need detailed test cases written for you before you can automate
• You require extensive guidance and structure to identify what should be tested
• You are looking for a purely manual testing position without building automation
• You prefer to specialize deeply in one testing tool rather than being versatile across the stack
• You are uncomfortable with rapid changes in direction and technology choices
• You prefer maintaining existing test suites over building new automation frameworks from scratch
• You want to manage people (this is a senior IC role, we need your hands on the code)
