Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.

What the occupation pays Median $108,178 (middle half $84,682–$137,059). This posting is about at that midpoint.

Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Aug 15, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (6)

The job title 'Programmer Analyst' and the mix of responsibilities (requirements gathering, configuration, SQL, troubleshooting, vendor interaction) straddle Systems Analyst (15-1211) and Software Developer (15-1252); the role leans more toward analysis and configuration than building original software, so 15-1211 was chosen with 15-1252 as the runner-up.

The experience requirement is framed as 'Preferred 1-3 years' — the word 'preferred' technically makes it non-mandatory, but it is the only experience signal in the posting and is treated as the effective floor for the overall years minimum.

AI code generation tools and AI agents are listed under Essential Qualifications but with softening language ('Familiar with', 'preferred'), so they are marked as preferred rather than required.

Healthcare EDI (800 and 200 series) is explicitly flagged as 'Preferred familiarity' and is marked accordingly.

The degree requirement states 'Undergraduate degree in IT, Healthcare IT and/or progressive experience' — the 'and/or progressive experience' clause means equivalent experience is accepted, so no minimum degree is hard-required.

Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): MS SQL Server Management Studio, AI code generation tools.
