You see the HTML for this page is

HTML

So, you can use the CSS selector for this as

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("https://www.ignitionone.com/company/careers/");
driver.manage().window().maximize();        
Thread.sleep(2000);

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("button.button.teal").click();

And then proceed with doing whatever is necessary. I executed with this in my Python code and it works fine.

Also, you will need to provide the Gecko executable path while calling for the FirefoxDriver()

The way I have done it before is to use the click handler.

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".profile-actions .primary_button > span")).click();

I'm sure you could also select the element by xpath rather than CSS in the above line. It's a similar question to this one.
