UI Developer

More info.

I prefer to find candidates local to KC (within 25 miles)

There is a chance of bringing the team onsite or at Our Office

Walsworth likes having people close

Remote outside of 25 miles is fine if we are struggling with #1 above. They will need to be comfortable with 5%-10% travel.

Vendor will reimburse

There is not a requirement right now but as we get into the throws of the work, onsite time could become necessary

Linkedin Must needed

Direct line phone no must needed
