This is not a contractor position. It is a limited term employee position with a maximum length of service of 5 years.

Rudy,
My understanding of LTE is that it's a classification where you have a job and a salary but you may have limited or no benefits (like unemployment, sick leave, stock options, etc.) or potentially reduced hours. It's not uncommon in the public sector and is used to reduce headcount with fewer bureaucratic obstacles. Without more detail from Divya, I can only assume it's a similar arrangement.

Thanks for the information James ... I'd never heard the term used before ... however in the context of the ad - "3rd largest website on the internet" - I think that the usage may be a misnomer.

I wanted to clarify that LTE is eligible for most benefits such as time off, medical, retirement etc. You would not be eligible for educational assistance and trainings.
Please reply back to me at the earliest if you are interested,
Thanks,
Divya
