Why we read it this way (5)
The posting title is 'Salesforce Developer' in the body but the civil-service title listed is 'Senior IT Architect – 95711', which is the formal NYC government job classification. The role's actual day-to-day work is Salesforce development, so Software Developers (15-1252) is the primary code; Computer Systems Analysts (15-1211) is noted as a runner-up given the requirements-gathering and architecture framing.
The minimum experience requirement is 6 years under qualification path 1 (baccalaureate in a related field); path 2 allows 10 years with any baccalaureate. The 6-year figure is used as the overall years minimum as it is the lower hard gate.
A baccalaureate degree is required under both qualification paths, though path 3 allows equivalent education/experience — because a degree-equivalent path exists, this is a borderline call; the degree requirement is set to Bachelors as the primary stated gate.
Service Cloud and Community Cloud are called out explicitly as required components of the solution. Marketing Cloud/Social Studio appears in the same sentence but is listed under a 'be able to work with' framing alongside the others, so it is treated as preferred.
Java is explicitly flagged as 'a big plus' — preferred, not required.
