Why we read it this way (7)

The posting states a minimum of 5 years of Salesforce development as a hard gate, but separately requires '10 or more years of prior experience' at the role level — both thresholds are captured (5 years on the Salesforce skill, 10 years as the overall experience floor).

The posting references the State of Connecticut IT Professional Services Agreement (22PSX0163) job classification 'Solution Architect' for baseline skill requirements; those external contract requirements are not reproduced here and could not be evaluated.

'.NET OOP and SOA' and 'JavaScript Frameworks' are listed under the 10-year experience block but are explicitly marked 'preferred', so they are treated as preferred skills.

SQL and 'End-to-End Web Development' appear in the same preferred block; SQL is captured as a concrete named technology; 'End-to-End Web Development' is a generic concept and is omitted per extraction rules.

Design patterns and OOP are mentioned repeatedly as required but are methodologies/concepts rather than named technologies and are therefore omitted from the skills list.

The role is 100% on-site in Hartford, CT; candidates must be within a 2-hour drive. W2 and Corp-to-Corp arrangements are both accepted.

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