Most of Cisco still fits in one Sparks building, and that community-minded closeness is exactly why its technology work stays sharp. Decisions at Cisco come with a name attached, because ownership without accountability is just noise.

Come for $85,000 - $122,000, stay for the mentorship, the benefits, and the rare flexibility that makes Cisco a scrappy place to grow.

The team just got the green light to hire, and this Unreal Developer role is first up.
