 Wow, 20 openings for one position.

 Too bad the payrate is a little low. Even for Seattle
 I think.

$35/hour as a W2 isn't _too_ bad, I don't think.  That's approx $70k/year
at 40 hours/week.

Since it mentions Mason and is in Seattle, I'm guessing it's for Amazon.
I believe Amazon uses multiple contracting agencies, so if you're
interested you might want to see if other agencies in the Seattle area
list very similar looking jobs at a better rate ;)

70K is a little low in my opinion. But then again, I
live in silicon valley.

Since it's a recruiter, they are probably taking 30%
or more out of what Amazon is actually paying. I had a
different recruiter call me the other day about this
position - if it is infact the same position. They
stated only 3 month contract-to-hire at $65/hour (if
you're experienced).

The fact that it's a different recruiter is why I hate
dealing with recruiters. One says $35, another says
$65.

Amazon can afford much higher than $35/hour, but
that's recruiters for ya.
