Why we read it this way (11)
This is a contract role (up to 12 months with extension option); the posting explicitly asks candidates to submit an hourly rate, but no rate range is provided.
The role is hybrid (alternating weeks of 2 or 3 days onsite) at the Smyrna, DE client site; relocation prior to start is required. Smyrna falls within the Dover, DE CBSA.
The title says 'Front-End Developer' but the required and desired skills span a full backend Java/database stack, making this closer to a full-stack application developer role — classified as Software Developers (15-1252) with Web Developers (15-1254) as the runner-up.
Seniority is assessed as Mid: the role receives direction from a PM and senior peers, suggesting it is not itself a senior-level position, despite the 7-year general application development requirement.
The 7-year 'General application design & development' requirement is captured as the overall years minimum; it is a role-level experience gate, not tied to a specific named technology.
MongoDB and Node.js are flagged 'Highly desired' in the posting — treated as preferred rather than required since they appear under the Desired Skills section.
The posting misspells 'HTML' as 'HMTL' — normalized to HTML.
Angular SIGNALS (a newer Angular feature) is grouped under the Angular/TypeScript desired skill rather than emitted as a standalone skill, as it is not a separately marketed tool.
Excel/POI/node-based Excel generators were omitted as they do not resolve to a single canonical named tool; the requirement is too vague to emit as a discrete skill.
Windows services and Java wrapped services were omitted as they describe a capability/concept rather than a named technology or tool.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
