No specific work location or metro area is stated in the posting; the CBSA fields are left blank. The role may be remote or hybrid but this is not explicitly confirmed.
The pay range ($83,430–$222,480/year) is described as a 'base hourly rate or base annual full-time salary for all positions in the job grade,' making the wide band a grade-level range rather than a precise offer for this specific role.
The degree requirement accepts a High School Diploma plus 4 years of relevant experience as equivalent to a Bachelor's degree, so no formal degree is hard-gated.
