Remote work welcome
Communication
technologies are pretty good nowadays. There’s no reason you should
have to uproot your personal life when you can do your job at home.
We’ll set you up wherever you are so long as you’ve got a quiet place to
work, a good Internet connection, and we can legally pay you where you
live.
If you have rejected offers from great companies
because they don’t believe in the power of Remote Teams then Audiense is
your place.
That said, if you come to Córdoba you will
live in a nice mid size city with a competitive salary and will enjoy
free soft drinks, daily fresh fruit, coffee machine, regular staff
nights out and #juevesdepizza. It’s a very exciting time here and we’d
love for you to join us!
