  • Strong communication and collaboration skills with the ability to work effectively across teams.
  • Legally authorized to work in the US without sponsorship
  • Must demonstrate a “can-do” attitude

Preferred Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related field preferred.
