Location
Remote (Codeable is fully distributed with ~20 full-time employees), however, you are required to be in a time zone between UTC -1 and UTC +3 (time zone map for reference). The rest of the product team operates in these time zones, and you will be collaborating closely on a day to day basis.
The Process
Please include your resume, salary expectations, and let us know why you’re the one for us, and why we’re the one for you, in the covering message that you send.
The application period ends on January 3rd. We’ll then review the applications received during the week of January 4th to 8th, and will contact you the following week if we want to take you forwards. The process will include regular interviews with various team members, along with some practical tests.
We’re looking for someone who can start soon after the interviews are done (start of February / mid-March).
