Our headquarters are in the Sydney CBD, but we have team members around the world. We have a preference for someone who can work full-time and semi-remote, joining us on-site one day per week. However, we are open to this role being permanent part-time with a minimum of 2.5 days per week, fully remote, or a mix of both for the right candidate. Our distributed team structures require all team members to be flexible around time zones. Each role also has a minimum daily crossover time requirement of 4 hours.
Our remote-friendly work culture and processes have been in place for a couple of years (some of our team used to work together on a product that reached over 4 million users) and our distributed team structure is working well.
