Why we read it this way (6)
This is an 18-month HBITS contract with the State of New York, with possibility of extension. The posting is placed by GENESYS Consulting Services, Inc. — the work location is presumed to be Albany, NY (State of New York HBITS contracts are administered there), but no city is explicitly stated.
All experience requirements are stated as '84 months' (7 years). The overall years minimum is set to 7 to reflect this threshold, which applies uniformly across all listed skills.
The role involves leading teams of 5–10 staff and mentoring developers, but the posting frames this as a hands-on technical lead/senior developer role rather than a people-management position, so it is classified as Software Developers rather than Computer and Information Systems Managers.
JUnit and Selenium are listed together as acceptable testing frameworks ('such as JUnit or Selenium'); they are captured as a single requirement with Selenium as an alternative since they serve the same stated purpose in this context.
JPA and Hibernate are listed together ('JPA/Hibernate'); Hibernate is the primary named ORM with JPA as the alternative interface.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
