Why we read it this way (6)

The role is a genuine hybrid: roughly half the work is Windows application development (Visual Basic, ASP.NET, Access, SQL) and half is IT automation/monitoring and infrastructure operations. 15-1252 Software Developers was chosen as primary because the JD explicitly calls for writing new modules, maintaining existing software, and implementing features — but 15-1244 is a credible runner-up given the strong monitoring, patch/release/change management, and infrastructure-oversight duties.

The minimum experience requirement is 4 years with a bachelor's degree in a related field, or 8 years without — 4 years is used as the overall years minimum per the lower qualifying path. The degree is not hard-required because the posting explicitly accepts equivalent experience in lieu of it.

No compensation figures are stated in the posting.
