Why we read it this way (9)
The role is primarily remote but requires onsite presence as needed — remote=false is set because it is not fully remote.
This is a staffing/consulting engagement through Tri-Force Consulting Services for the Philadelphia Department of Public Health; the posting reads as a contract placement rather than a direct full-time hire, though employment type is not explicitly stated — classified as Contract based on the staffing-firm context and Statement of Work framing.
The degree requirement (BA/BS in Computer Science or related field) explicitly accepts 'equivalent knowledge acquired by work experience and training,' so no minimum degree is hard-gated.
WP Engine is listed as the managed WordPress hosting platform the work will run on; familiarity with it is implied as a hard operational requirement given the liaison and maintenance duties described.
Google Analytics integration is listed as a required deliverable in the work activities section, treated as a required skill.
WCAG AA compliance is a stated deliverable and accessibility experience is listed under required skills.
The 'Highly Desired/Preferred' section contains only soft-skill/behavioral traits and no named technologies, so no preferred technical skills were extracted from it.
SOC 15-1254 (Web Developers) is the primary classification because the role centers on building and maintaining a WordPress CMS site with theme/plugin development, accessibility compliance, and content management support — classic web-site work. 15-1252 is noted as a runner-up given the PHP/JS plugin and feature development component.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
