Do you have any fixed working hours and are you hoping for someone remotely or only on-site?

We value flexibility and autonomy, so there are no fixed working hours. We are open to remote applicants but need someone who can overlap with our core team's business hours (9 am - 5 pm ET).

How does Melior approach remote work? I'm looking for a company that puts trust in their workers.

We completely trust our remote workers! We believe that autonomy is the key to success in a remote setting. We give our remote employees the same level of responsibility and ownership as our in-office team. We use tools like G Suite, Slack, and Zoom to stay connected, and hold regular meetings, stand-ups, and retrospectives.
