Benefits

• Fully remote position • Full-Time position - we expect 40h of active work time. • Contract-based employment • Starting at $5,000 - $8,500 depending on qualifications • There are currently NO formal benefits packages available (health insurance, retirement plans, not billable PTO, not billable Sick Days but we have no problem if you want to work additional hours after to make up for it).
