Why we read it this way (10)
The posting states 'Bachelor's degree in Information Systems or a related field OR 10 years of related experience,' making the degree substitutable with experience — the degree requirement is set to None accordingly.
The 7-year experience requirement is explicitly tied to HRIS system administration and Workday; the overall years minimum is set to 7 (the role-level gate), not 10 (which is the degree-substitution path).
This is explicitly a temporary six-month contract engagement, despite the compensation section referencing 'full-time position' — the employment type is set to Contract.
The job title includes 'Contractor' and the body confirms 'temporary six month role,' reinforcing the contract classification.
Workday Advanced Compensation appears in both the required modules list and the preferred skills section; it is captured as required based on its placement in the Minimum Requirements block.
Workday-specific technical integrations and machine learning automation appear only under Preferred Skills, so they are marked preferred.
10x Genomics is headquartered in Pleasanton, CA; no explicit remote option is stated, so remote is set to false. The CBSA used is San Francisco–Oakland–Hayward, CA (41860), which encompasses Pleasanton.
The SOC code 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is the best fit for an HRIS analyst/administrator role focused on platform configuration, integrations, and business requirements — not primarily software development. 15-1299 is noted as a runner-up given the specialized HRIS platform focus.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Workday Talent and Performance, HRIS administration.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
