Why we read it this way (5)
The role is listed as onsite in Moline, IL with up to 20% remote work allowed — it does not qualify as fully remote.
The JD states 'Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field, plus 3 years related experience' as a hard requirement; the overall years minimum is set to 3 (the role-level experience gate). The per-skill year requirements (1–2 years each) are captured on individual skills.
The role involves full-stack development spanning embedded C++ (CAN bus messages) through Node.js server to React browser UI — 15-1252 Software Developers is the clear primary classification; 15-1254 Web Developers is noted as a distant runner-up given the browser/UI surface, but the embedded-to-cloud scope firmly places this in software development.
MFE (Micro Frontend architecture) and Module Federation are listed as distinct, named architectural requirements under 'What Skills You Need' and are retained as separate skills.
Up to 20% domestic and international travel is required — unusual for a software engineering role and worth flagging for candidates.
