Why we read it this way (8)

The posting lists Atlanta, GA as the work location and describes the role as 'Hybrid/Onsite'; however, the caller has declared this a fully-remote, national-pool role, so no metro has been set and remote=true.

Employment type is Contract (W2 or C2C), with a stated 9-month duration.

The role summary cites '7+ years' of overall experience, while the Basic Qualifications section breaks this into per-technology minimums (5+ years Java, 4+ years Spring/Spring Boot, 4+ years Microservices/REST, 3+ years Spring Data JPA/Hibernate); the overall years minimum is set to 7 per the role-level statement.

Spring Data JPA and Hibernate are listed together as a single requirement in the Basic Qualifications section; they are captured as one skill with Hibernate as an alternative.

SQL databases appear only under the 'Nice to have' section and are marked preferred accordingly.

No degree requirement is stated anywhere in the posting.

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

Caller marked this a fully-remote role — scored against the national candidate pool.
