Step 1: Baseline Criteria
Candidates must first meet these criteria to be considered:

Are currently located AND authorized to work in the US*

Step 2: Qualifications
If a candidate satisfies our baseline criteria, we then look for one or more of the following:

Certification (completed or in progress)
