Why we read it this way (8)
The role blends application development with systems analysis and ERP administration, making it a genuine hybrid between 15-1252 (Software Developers) and 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts); primary day-to-day work leans toward development and programming, so 15-1252 was chosen.
The degree requirement accepts either a Bachelor's in IT or an Associate's plus 5 years of experience in lieu — because equivalent experience is explicitly accepted, the degree requirement is set to None.
The 3–4 years of experience requirement is stated against the technology list rather than the role overall; the overall years minimum is set to 3 as the minimum figure stated.
The technology list (SQL/PostgreSQL, JavaScript, C#, Python, GitHub, Microsoft Access, ETHOS Integration, ERP systems) is presented as a single block of 'at least some of the technologies below' — none are individually hard-gated. SQL/PostgreSQL and ERP experience are the most central to the role's described duties and are marked required; the remaining named tools are marked preferred.
SQL and PostgreSQL are listed together as 'SQL/PostgreSQL' in the posting; SQL is used as the primary name with PostgreSQL as an alternative since they represent the same relational-query requirement here.
Higher-education ERP platforms (Ellucian Colleague/Banner, PeopleSoft, Jenzabar) are explicitly noted as 'preferred but not required' and are captured as a single preferred skill with alternatives.
The position is hybrid (not fully remote) — regular on-site attendance at the Rockford, IL campus is required.
FastAPI appears in the posting parenthetically as '(EastAPI)' — this appears to be a typo for FastAPI; it was not emitted as a separate skill since it is listed alongside Python in the same optional technology list.
