The salary range is $185,000–$250,000 annually. The final offer depends on the qualifications the candidate meets, as well as education and experience. Benefits include health, life, disability, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) plan with a 3% company contribution and 3% company match, paid time off, 11 federal holidays, paid maternity/paternity leave, an annual technology allowance, referral bonuses, professional recognition awards, healthcare stipends, tuition or education reimbursement subject to eligibility, and flexible daily start and stop times for most projects and positions.
