Please note: We are an equal-opportunity employer and a remote-only company. At this time, we can support hiring only within EU time zones. We work in sync using Gather as our virtual office. As a small, fast-growing company, we believe in the need for an in-sync component of daily communication and therefore cannot support 100% asynchronous work.
