Bullhorn is looking for a Software Architect to join our Engineering team.
Bullhorn is the leading global software provider for the staffing and recruitment industry. More than 10,000 companies rely on Bullhorn’s cloud-based platform to power their staffing processes from start to finish.

We use Zoom, Slack, and other tools to stay connected while we are remote.
