Why we read it this way (8)
This role is a W2 contract position placed by staffing firm Zenfreed; no pay rate was disclosed.
The posting is a broad Infrastructure/Enterprise Architect role spanning data modeling, application architecture, cloud design, and systems documentation. It was classified under 15-1243 (Database Architects) due to the heavy emphasis on data modeling, data management strategy, metadata repositories, and statewide data model ownership, but 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is a close runner-up given the EA/systems-analysis duties.
The Requirements section lists '8+ year: RHEL experience / Windows Server experience' as a combined gate — both are marked required with 8 years demanded. 'Exposure to Application Architecture' and 'Familiarity with AppServer like Weblogic / Websphere / JBoss' also appear in the Requirements section and are treated as hard gates despite the softer framing ('exposure', 'familiarity'), per section-placement rules.
Cloud platform design (AWS / Azure / Google Cloud) is listed in the Requirements section and is treated as a hard gate; AWS is the primary name with Azure and GCP as named alternatives.
All skills under 'Desired Skills' are marked preferred, including network administration (3+ years), SQL, diagramming tools, IIS/Apache/WAF, Oracle/MSSQL, programming languages, CI/CD tools, IaC, Kubernetes/OpenShift, and Cloudflare.
The CI/CD tools listed (Ansible, Jenkins, SonarQube, Artifactory, Veracode) are grouped as a single preferred skill with Ansible as primary, since the posting frames them as interchangeable examples of the same category.
The role requires candidates to be local to Lansing, MI (within 120 miles) and work a hybrid schedule with Mondays and Tuesdays on-site — these are described as non-negotiable.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
