Each posting is classified from its text, not its title: the kind of work, how much of it is production code, pre-sales weight, time at customer sites, travel, remote arrangement, level and posted base pay. The site also publishes the aggregates: median pay by level, metro, company and kind of work, and which companies started hiring FDEs each week.

- Travel to customer sites and industry conferences to represent Auctor

### What You Bring

- 2-10+ years of experience in consulting, professional services, customer success, or solutions engineering—ideally in enterprise software
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Experience with technical concepts; comfort with data, APIs, and configuration (coding not required but a plus)
