Who We''re Looking For

Technical depth gets you in the door. Beyond that, we''re hiring for four qualities together, not any one in isolation: humble, hungry, and smart.

• Humble - a team player first. You teach as readily as you learn, and you don''t need to be the smartest person in the room to add value.
• Hungry - genuinely curious and self-driven. You take on a new certification or course because you enjoy it, not because it''s assigned, and you dig into unfamiliar problems until you''ve figured them out.
• Smart - people-smart. You read a room, enjoy talking with customers, and can hold your own in front of a client audience.
• Excited about AI - you''re already using AI tools to work faster and deliver better outcomes, and you want to keep pushing on that. This is where our SF+ practice is headed, so it''s a practical, non-negotiable skill, not a nice-to-have.

The salary range for this position takes into consideration a variety of factors, including but not limited to skill sets, level of experience, applicable office location, training, licensure and certifications, and other business and organizational needs. The new hire salary range displays the minimum and maximum salary targets for this position across all US locations, and the range has not been adjusted for any specific state differentials. It is not typical for a candidate to be hired at or near the top of the range for their role, and compensation decisions are dependent on the unique facts and circumstances regarding each candidate. A reasonable estimate of the current salary range for this position is $81,978 to $149,880. Please note that the salary range posted reflects the base salary only and does not include benefits or any potential variable compensation programs. Information regarding the benefits available for this position are in our benefits overview.
