Hi Jordi, is this open for remote candidates?

—Eduardo

[Jordi Beltran]

Hi Eduardo,

Remote is not our first choice, but in some cases we have people working remotely.

There are certain requirements like a almost 100% working hours overlapping with the rest of the team and only on certain countries.

Contact us and maybe there is a chance.

Best,
Jordi

PS: another great benefit we have is an account on safaribooksonline.com

Thanks for the info Jordi, but if remote positions are something excepcional I guess it would be difficult to make it work.
