Location and working arrangement

This role is hybrid, based in San Francisco. Moraph has no office of its own in San Francisco: office days are at a coworking space Moraph provides there. You'll need to be able to work from San Francisco on a regular basis, and your team agrees its own rhythm for being together.

The application asks whether you are authorized to work in the United States or will need visa sponsorship. Sponsorship depends on the role and the country; your recruiter will be clear about what is possible before you invest time in interviews.
