Why we read it this way (8)
The posting does not specify a work location or state — no CBSA could be determined. This appears to be a government IT contractor role for New York State's Office of Mental Health (OMH), so a New York location is plausible but not stated.
The 'Expert – 84+ Months' mandatory qualification maps to roughly 7 years minimum overall experience, which is treated as the role-level experience floor.
Years demanded on skills are expressed in months in the posting (e.g., '84 Months'); these have been converted to months as-is per the posting's own framing — note that 84 months ≈ 7 years and 72 months ≈ 6 years and 60 months ≈ 5 years.
Angular, Ajax, and Toad/SQL Developer appear only in the day-to-day tasks narrative or as parenthetical examples rather than in the formal Requested Qualifications block, so they are treated as preferred rather than hard gates.
HIPAA/PHI experience (60 months) is listed as a requested qualification but describes domain knowledge rather than a named technology; it is omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.
The workflow/status-tracking experience requirement (84 months) describes a functional pattern, not a named technology, and is therefore omitted from the skills list.
An alt SOC of 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is noted because the role includes significant systems coordination, SDLC execution, and mentoring duties alongside hands-on coding.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
