• 401k plan with a match - Retirement may feel more like a pipe dream than a reality but we're here to help you get there.
• Commuter FSAs - We believe the best ideas come from being together in one place. We just don't think getting there should be so expensive.
• UNLIMITED PTO - Because we believe that working hard shouldn't mean always working. Take time for you as often as you need it.
• Exclusive Employee only Bilt Points - We give our employees unique opportunities to earn points throughout their time at Bilt.

At Bilt Rewards, we believe in transparency and we do our best to make sure the company and our candidates are on the same page as it relates to compensation. In addition to posting salary ranges for our open roles, candidates should expect to be asked about compensation expectations and requirements early on in their interview process. Our goal is to highlight when expectations and Bilt's salary range may be out of sync, and work with the candidate to determine whether it makes sense to continue conversations.
We are considering candidates with differing levels of expertise for this position. Leveling will be based upon your experience and performance in the interview process.
Where a new hire falls within a range will be based on their individual skills and experience, and how these competencies compare across other employees in the same role. Bilt's bands are designed to allow for individual compensation growth within the role. As such, new hires typically start at the lower end of the range. Bilt rewards performance and outcomes - should you join the company, you will have the opportunity to grow your salary over time.
The salary range for an Automation Engineer is $150,000 - 180,000 and will be eligible for equity and an annual performance-based bonus.
