We are aware that women and those from minority groups are less likely to apply for roles if they don't meet every single criteria. We highly encourage you to apply, even if you don't feel completely qualified. Some of the best people we’ve worked with in our careers felt underqualified when they first applied, and we’re glad they did so anyway.
Role Details
This is a part time, contractor role, with a preference for candidates who will be available 10+ hours/week. This role is entirely remote, and we are able to hire people in most countries. Applicants can work whichever hours of the day work for them. We prefer applicants who can start immediately. Pay is commensurate with experience, starting at $20/hour.
Application Process
We are reviewing applications on a rolling basis and will add a closing date when we have received enough high-quality applications to be confident that we will make an offer. We will review all applications received prior to the closing date.
The application process will vary by candidate but for successful candidates will typically involve:
An initial application
A paid 10-hour work test
A 45-minute interview
