Why we read it this way (9)
The job posting explicitly states 'This is NOT a remote position' and requires in-office work in Houghton, MI. The remote=true flag has been set per the caller's instruction, overriding the posting's stated requirement. The metro has been left blank accordingly.
Degree requirement: the JD accepts an equivalent combination of education and experience in lieu of a formal Bachelor's degree, so the degree requirement is set to None.
The web framework requirement (ASP.NET, Vue.js, Angular, React, Node.js, Bootstrap) is listed as 'at least one popular framework' — ASP.NET is used as the primary name with the others captured as alternatives, reflecting that any one satisfies the gate.
Source control (Git/SVN/TFS) is listed in the required experience section with 'e.g.' framing; the qualifier means the specific tool is interchangeable, not that the requirement is optional.
Visual Studio, MSSQL Server, GIS systems, Transportation Management Systems experience, and unit testing are listed under 'Desirable Education and/or Experience' and are preferred.
Fortran, Python, .NET MAUI, Android/iOS, NUnit, Azure, and Agile are listed under 'Desirable Knowledge, Skills, and/or Abilities' and are preferred.
