Anticipated salary range for this role

$120,000-$155,000

Come break things (in a good way). Then build them smarter.

We\'re the tech company everyone calls when things get weird. We don't wear capes (they're a safety hazard), but we do solve high-stakes problems with code, caffeine, and a healthy disregard for "how it's always been done."
