Although this is a fully remote position and you have the flexibility to work from anywhere it's essential to have significant overlap with standard working hours in Europe as most of our product team is based there. To ensure effective collaboration you should be available to work between 11 AM EST (or earlier) and 1 PM EST several days out of the week. Outside of this core overlap period you have complete flexibility in determining your work schedule.
