Why we read it this way (7)
The title is 'IT Project Specialist' but the posting explicitly frames the role as 'Senior Developer' — advertised seniority is treated as Senior accordingly.
The minimum experience requirement varies by education level: 4 years with a relevant bachelor's degree, 6 years with a relevant associate's degree, or 8 years with any bachelor's degree. The lowest qualifying threshold (4 years) is used for the overall years minimum.
Degree requirement is set to None because the posting explicitly allows equivalent experience in lieu of a formal degree (option 4).
Oracle, SQL Server, and DB2 are listed together as database technologies the role works with; Oracle is named first and SQL Server/DB2 are captured as alternatives on a single skill.
IBM FileNet, Adobe AEM, and MS InfoPath appear in a support/integration context ('provide technical support for… such as') rather than a hard requirements gate, so they are marked as preferred.
The alt SOC 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is noted because the role includes significant systems analysis, architecture assessment, and documentation work alongside hands-on development.
No compensation figures are stated in the posting.
