This is a 100% remote working role, so location is not important. Your immediate supervisor would be based out of our Boston Office in the US, however you’ll be able to operate day to day in your local time zone. As such you must be setup to operate effectively from your own work‑space and be comfortable with pure remote / home‑based working. Brafton’s core business is heavily remote focused - and was so well before the COVID-19 pandemic; as such the business is extremely agile and well adapted to such working practices.
