Skills & Experience:

We value experience, so if you have 20+ years of related experience, that's great!

• 3 Weeks Paid Time Off (PTO) (and an additional week for managers, and an additional week after 5 years).
• Health & Wellness: Can be taken as traditional insurance, or as cash in lieu of benefits. Benefit amounts vary based on age, family status, and eligibility, but as an example, in most circumstances, an employee with a spouse and 3 kids, would be eligible for $19,200 / year or more.
• Paid paternity/maternity leave
• 401k with 100% match up to 8% of wages.
