Not Ready Important Notice About the Application Process This position offers use of our AI screening tool as part of the initial candidate review. While completing the AI screening is optional, please note: Candidates who complete the AI screening are reviewed first—daily. We strongly encourage you to complete it promptly to ensure early consideration (first come, first served). Expect to receive a prompt from our AI screener shortly after applying. The AI screener helps us streamline the Candidate intake process, but rest assured— you'll still work directly with a Masis recruiter throughout the rest of your hiring journey.
