Why we read it this way (5)

The posting is open to both permanent full-time candidates and a 12-month contract engagement; employment type is recorded as FullTime reflecting the primary intent, but contract candidates may also be considered.

The role is remote across all of North America (not US-only), so some candidates may be Canada-based; no specific metro is stated.

The degree requirement accepts 'equivalent practical experience' as a substitute for a Bachelor's degree, so no hard degree gate is recorded.

The APM/observability tools (Dynatrace, AppDynamics, New Relic, etc.) and the application-server list (WebSphere, WebLogic, etc.) are each framed as 'such as … or comparable technologies' — the requirement is for experience with tools in that category; the named tools are captured as the primary option with alternatives.

SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is primarily architectural/diagnostic consulting rather than greenfield software development, making 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) a plausible alternative, but the depth of hands-on JVM and code-level work tips it toward 15-1252.
