Can someone tell me if this is legit or a scam?

I had no FaceTime or in-person interview with this company, and I only filled out a questionnaire.

The company looks legit on its website and LinkedIn. The only red flag is that I can't find the recruiter on LinkedIn, and this sudden job offer with no face-to-face interview.

I want to ask to jump on a call to see if they're legit, but I also need to coordinate some upcoming time off.
