Why we read it this way (7)
The role is titled '.Net Developer' but the mandatory qualifications describe a 'Software Architect' profile — someone who makes high-level design choices, dictates technical standards, and designs large-scale multi-tier systems. The actual scope and experience demands (84 months / 7 years across most core skills) support a Senior classification despite the architect framing, as this appears to be a staffing/government contract posting where 'Architect' is a skill-level label rather than a distinct org-wide role.
The posting is for the DOCCS (NY Department of Corrections and Community Supervision) agency, strongly implying Albany, NY, but no explicit city or CBSA is stated.
All experience requirements appear under 'Requested Qualifications' (not a separate 'Required' heading), but the mandatory qualifications block explicitly gates on 84+ months of expert-level experience, so the specific technology year demands are treated as hard gates consistent with that framing.
ColdFusion, Visual Basic, and MS Access appear only as legacy technologies the candidate will be migrating away from, not as forward-looking requirements — marked as preferred/contextual.
Oracle and SQL Server are listed as interchangeable alternatives for the SQL requirement; Oracle is listed first.
ASMX, WCF, and WebAPI are listed as interchangeable technologies for the web services requirement; WCF is used as the primary with the others as alternatives.
No compensation, employment type, or degree requirement is stated in the posting.
