Why we read it this way (6)
No work location is specified in the posting beyond 'manufacturing facilities and steel foundries throughout North America'; no CBSA could be determined. The role requires 10% travel.
The degree requirement is listed under 'Education Preferred' (a Bachelor's in IT or related field) and 'Skills and Requirements' states 'a standard 4-year education in a relevant field' — the latter reads as a soft expectation rather than a hard gate, and the former is explicitly preferred, so the degree requirement is set to None.
WCF, WPF, and Prism are called out prominently in the job description narrative as core to the role alongside the formal requirements section, and are treated as hard gates given the strong gating language used throughout.
TDD appears only as 'familiarity with' and CI/CD as 'familiarity with CI/CD workflows' — both are treated as preferred.
Agile and Scrum are listed as a 'strong background' requirement but appear in a section that mixes required and preferred items; given the softer framing relative to the core .NET stack, Scrum is captured as an alternative to Agile rather than a separate gate.
Generative AI tools (Microsoft Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT) are listed as 'familiarity with' — treated as preferred, with Claude and ChatGPT as alternatives since the posting frames them interchangeably.
