Why we read it this way (6)

This is a 12+ month contract with option to extend. Candidates must be current Wisconsin residents; no relocation is permitted and all work (including remote) must be performed within Wisconsin during CST business hours.

The posting lists a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, math, engineering, information systems, or a related field under 'Education' without an explicit 'or equivalent experience' escape clause, so it is treated as a hard requirement.

ServiceNow Certified System Administrator (CSA) and Certified Application Developer (CAD) are listed as preferred credentials under both the 'Preferred Skills' and 'Certifications' sections.

The role is classified as Software Developers (15-1252) given the primary focus on platform scripting, workflow development, and system integrations; 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is noted as a plausible alternative given the platform-specialist nature of the work.

The posting requests candidates submit their hourly rate but does not advertise a compensation range.

Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
