Why we read it this way (6)
The posting is a New York State HBITS (Hourly Based IT Services) contract engagement — 'consultant' and 'selected candidate' language confirms this is a contract, not a permanent hire. No compensation is stated.
Experience requirements are expressed in months: 84 months (~7 years) for core .NET/architecture/web-services/Vue/Angular/C# skills, and 72 months (~6 years) for SQL, responsive design, and Vue/Angular component development. The overall years minimum is set to 7 (the highest stated role-level minimum).
The alt SOC 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is noted because the role includes substantial systems analysis, requirements gathering, gap analysis, and functional documentation work alongside hands-on development.
GraphQL is listed in the task narrative as 'a plus' and is marked preferred accordingly.
The title 'IT Specialist' carries no seniority level, but the 84-month experience floor and explicit lead/architect role requirement place this firmly at the Senior band.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
