About Us
This is a fully remote role with a US-based startup backed by TechStars NYC and Vitalize.VC

What’s most important is you being a high output achiever, with a collaborative approach to problem-solving. We don’t care about degrees and titles nearly as much as we care about the ability and desire to build and create.
