  • This can be a full or part time position
  • Remote or onsite at our HQ in Auburn, WA
  • If remote, available to work during Pacific Standard (PST) business hours


We are offering a pay rate of $30-$35 per hour, dependent on experience and qualifications. In addition to a competitive compensation plan, we offer a comprehensive benefits package that includes Medical, Dental, Life and Disability insurance, FSA, a 401(k) plan, PTO, holidays and more.

If you are hired at Sterlitech, your final hourly rate will be determined based on factors such as geographic location, skills, education and/or experience. In addition to those factors, we believe in the importance of pay equity and consider internal equity of our current team members as a part of any final offer. Please keep in mind that hiring at the maximum of the range would not be typical in order to allow for future and continued compensation growth. We also offer a generous benefits package, including company paid health insurance, 401(K) retirement savings plan with employer match, 3 weeks PTO per year, and more.
