This opportunity has the potential to be remote for a strong candidate that is not located near an east coast office. However, there is a very strong preference for someone that can work a hybrid schedule and go into the New York, Boston, Wayne, Parsippany, or Durham locations several days per week. This preference is due to supporting global teams in different time zones.
