Why we read it this way (7)

The role is 85% remote but requires presence in Austin, TX — not fully remote, so remote is set to false.

The 12+ month duration with possible extension and the staffing-agency framing strongly indicate a contract engagement for the Texas Education Agency (TEA).

CI/CD is listed in the job summary and responsibilities alongside Git as a hard requirement, though no standalone years figure is given for it separately from Git.

Alt SOC 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is noted because a significant portion of the role involves configuring and customizing a packaged CRM platform (Dynamics 365) rather than building net-new software from scratch; however, the emphasis on C# plugin development, JavaScript customization, REST API integrations, and CI/CD pipelines tips the primary classification to Software Developers (15-1252).

Government/Public Sector experience and Microsoft Certifications (PL-400 or PL-600) are listed under Preferred Skills and are not hard gates.

Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Power Apps Component Framework.

Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
