The pay range is the lowest to highest compensation we reasonably in good faith believe we would pay at posting for this role. We may ultimately pay more or less than this range. Employee pay is based on factors like relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, location, performance, union contract and business needs. This range may be modified in the future.

We offer comprehensive benefits including medical/dental/vision insurance, HSA, FSA, 401(k), and life, disability & ADD insurance to eligible employees. Salaried personnel receive paid time off. Hourly employees are not eligible for paid time off unless required by law. Hourly employees on a Service Contract Act project are eligible for paid sick leave.

Note: Pay is not considered compensation until it is earned, vested and determinable. The amount and availability of any compensation remains in Kforce's sole discretion unless and until paid and may be modified in its discretion consistent with the law.

The Network Platform Development team operates large-scale testbeds spanning multiple racks with over 1,000 connections to validate routers and network operating systems before deployment. We are deploying 35 new rack positions in 2026 to support growing testing demands. We are currently building a single testbed that takes approximately 4 weeks, with 95% of that time consumed by manual labor including physical cabling, unboxing equipment, decommissioning, and cable management. This work is performed by L5/L4 network technicians whose specialized expertise in topology design and troubleshooting is not required for these mechanical tasks. Significant ongoing physical work includes unboxing devices and materials, decommissioning old equipment, and lab optimization efforts that do not require specialized network engineering skills.
