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 SocialBro 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!
