Why we read it this way (6)
The job title is simply 'Software Engineer' with no level modifier, so advertised seniority is Unspecified; however, the 6–8 year minimum experience requirement and enterprise-scope responsibilities support a Senior classification.
A B.S. or M.S. in computer science or related field is listed as a qualification; because the posting does not offer an 'or equivalent experience' escape, the minimum (B.S.) is treated as a hard degree requirement.
Syncfusion, Telerik, SpreadsheetGear, and Bootstrap appear in the required qualifications block under 'Experience integrating and utilizing third-party UI and productivity components' and are therefore marked required, even though they are specific named libraries.
Blazor and Azure are explicitly called out as 'a strong plus' and 'a plus' respectively, so they are marked preferred.
The posting mentions a $15,000 target bonus in addition to the $120,000–$140,000 base salary range; the comp fields reflect base salary only.
The role is hybrid (not fully remote) per the stated 'Hybrid work policy.' The posting does not specify a city, but Marquette Associates is headquartered in Chicago, IL.
