Why we read it this way (7)
All named technologies (HTML, CSS, jQuery, JavaScript, Bootstrap, C#, MVC5, ASP.NET, WCF, SQL, Visual Studio, Azure DevOps) are listed exclusively under a 'Preferred familiarity with, or desire and ability to learn' heading — none are hard gates.
The only hard educational gate is a Bachelor's degree in an IT-related field (Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent). Experience is satisfied by an internship, collegiate project, or Capstone — no professional years are required.
MVC5 was omitted as a standalone skill because it is a version-specific sub-framework of ASP.NET MVC and is subsumed by the ASP.NET entry.
The role blends development and testing duties roughly equally; 15-1253 (Software QA Analysts and Testers) is a plausible alternative SOC given the explicit emphasis on unit, integration, and exploratory testing.
The role is hybrid (two days/week in-person at the Detroit, MI office), not fully remote.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
The posting explicitly states no immigration sponsorship will be provided.
