Neither the Talent team nor hiring managers or the Support team will respond to cold outreach. This is a full-time position, with standard working hours from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday. We welcome the responsible use of AI for research and interview preparation, but ask that it isn't used to generate answers during live interviews. We also believe in being transparent - we use Metaview's AI note-taker during interviews so our interviewers can stay fully present. If you'd prefer us not to use it, just let your interviewer know. While you may need to answer eligibility questions as part of your application, we do not use AI to review or make decisions on applications - every application is reviewed fairly by a member of our Talent team.
