Why we read it this way (7)
The title 'Associate Software Engineer II' maps to an entry/junior level; the 2-year programming experience requirement and 1-year IT concepts requirement are consistent with a Junior band.
C#, .NET, ASP.NET, and MVC are called out explicitly in the narrative as the profile of a 'strong candidate' — they appear in the role description framing rather than a formal 'Required Skills' section, but the language ('you will be a strong candidate if you have') functions as a near-gate; treated as required given the overall framing and the role's core focus.
GitHub Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot are explicitly called out as 'a plus' — listed as preferred.
Microsoft Office and Microsoft Teams proficiency are mentioned in the company narrative section as broadly expected across all roles, not in a formal requirements block — listed as preferred.
A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science is listed as required, but the JD immediately offers 'equivalent work experience' as a substitute (one year of experience per year of college), so the degree requirement is set to None.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Role is remote-first but excludes candidates in CA, MA, NH, NJ, and NY. Final interview is onsite in Chattanooga, TN. No visa sponsorship available.
