Why we read it this way (6)
This is a long-term W2 contract role placed through ManpowerGroup/Experis — not a direct hire.
Location is South Denver, CO; the role starts onsite during ramp-up and transitions to a hybrid schedule (~2 days/week onsite). It is not fully remote.
The database requirement lists PostgreSQL, Cassandra, and MongoDB as interchangeable options under the 'What's Needed?' requirements section. Postgres Vector DB (pgvector) appears only in the job duties narrative and is listed as a preferred/contextual skill here.
No minimum years of experience are explicitly stated at the role level; 'extensive experience' is qualitative language rather than a numeric gate.
The posting explicitly excludes third-party agencies and visa sponsorship; local Colorado candidates only.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
