Why we read it this way (8)

This is a 12-month contract engagement, not a permanent hire.

The posting requires only a High School Diploma (or equivalent) paired with 10+ years of experience — no college degree is gated; the degree requirement is set to None accordingly.

Candidate must reside in the continental US (lower 48 states) and be comfortable working Eastern Time hours; no specific state residency is required.

The role involves an on-call production support rotation, which is worth flagging for candidate conversations.

Medicaid systems experience is listed under Preferred Skills — it is domain knowledge rather than a named technology, so it is not emitted as a skill.

ChangeMan, File-AID, FootPrints, and SAS all appear under the 'Preferred Skills' section and are therefore not hard gates.

Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.

Caller marked this a fully-remote role — scored against the national candidate pool.
