Additional Information

We are a remote company, with all employees working remotely. We believe in hiring the best people, not restricted by geography. For this role, we need flexibility in time zone coverage (eg: may encompass coverage of US & European time zones for support). Working remotely requires high motivation and the ability to report back on productivity. We believe it also helps foster excellent work/life balance for our employees.

We are a startup, with a fast paced startup culture. Also, we are funded by, and operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of a public company, so our employees benefit from the excellent benefits and opportunities provided by a large company.
