  • Chicago-based, with availability for hybrid work (1-2 days in-office).
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • Health Insurance, Vision Plan, and Dental Cover for you and your dependants
  • HSA & FSA
  • Employee Assistance Programme
