This is a hybrid opportunity based in India. (Currently, the role is remote, but once we establish an office space in India, the role will become hybrid. The hybrid work schedule is flexible, meaning the team [in collaboration with the manager] will determine when they come into the office.)
- Standard IST working hours are permitted with the exception of 2-3 days per week, when you will join meetings with the US and LatAm team. On these days, work hours will be between 2:30 - 10:30pm IST. (Please note that we allow for flexibility on the following days to make up for the previous day’s late work schedule!)
