Experience and Skill Requirements
In our descriptions below, we use the word “like” intentionally. We do not present a comprehensive list of all the skills that might be relevant for our work nor must you have everything we list.

We expect you to use your best judgment to the benefit of Aginity clients, fellow Aginity employees and your own career.
