Why we read it this way (8)
The posting is for a Virginia state government contractor (ELECT — Virginia Department of Elections), so the work location is inferred as Richmond, VA; no explicit city is stated.
The engagement is with 'established contractors and staff,' strongly implying a contract/staff-augmentation arrangement rather than a direct hire; employment type is set to Contract accordingly.
All skills are listed in a structured requirements table. 'Azure Data Factory' is the only item explicitly marked 'Nice to have'; all others are marked 'Required'.
The 7-year figure appears uniformly against every skill row — it reflects the table's 'Amount of Experience' column applied to each line item, not a single overall role-level requirement. The overall years minimum is set to 7 as the closest role-level proxy.
The posting names no title with a seniority level; the title states no level. The 7-year requirement, architectural decision-making, mentoring, and roadmap ownership support a Senior classification.
The alternative occupation code 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is noted as a runner-up given the SOA/architecture analysis framing and government systems context, but the dominant work described is application development and cloud engineering.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Azure API Management.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
