Remote flexibility

What the employer says
- Source listing states candidate location: "Remote (United States), Remote"
- Job description states: "anywhere in the world"
What Nomaders makes of it
- Payroll and tax are likely handled in that country only

About the role
This is a remote position available anywhere in the world! Linkedin makes us show a country, but we hire the best people wherever they are.
At Railway, we make it simple to ship anything. A lot goes into that. This role bridges the universe of atoms, to the universe of bits.
We’ve built ground up infrastructure to deliver better-than-best-in-class experience to all of our users, by building datacenters all over the world.
They’re designed for performance of course, but also for resilience and reliability. Doesn’t matter how good your stuff is if it doesn’t stay up right?
